Just hours after Elon Musk offered to buy tech giant Twitter for $41.39 billion, the billionaire said he was not sure if he would 'be able to acquire it', but hinted at a plan B. Asserting that his hostile bid was not aimed at making money but to create an inclusive arena for free speech, Musk said he has sufficient assets to carry out the deal. Musk's net worth is estimated to be around $282 billion. Speaking at TED2022 conference in Vancouver, Musk did not disclose what his plan B is but reports said he could dump the 9.2% stake in the company which had made him the largest shareholder in the social media giant. "I am not sure that I will actually be able to acquire it," he told the conference. He called Securities and Exchange Commission officials "bastards" for bringing fraud charges against him over his 2018 tweets regarding taking Tesla private. "So I was forced to concede to the SEC unlawfully. Those bastards." Musk offered to buy Twitter in a regulatory filing on Thursday. He is offering $54.20 per share. He made an announcement about his offer in a short tweet on Thursday that said 'I made an offer'. × Musk has looked to give 38 per cent premium over the closing price of the stock of Twitter on April 1. The single tweet from the billionaire sent shockwaves through the business world. The offer elicited fears as well as cheers. Tech watchers reacted to the Tesla chief's proposal for one of the world's most influential information exchanges with immediate worries about accountability, public discourse and even how it could impact democracy. "Twitter is too important to be owned and controlled by a single person," tweeted venture capitalist Fred Wilson. "The opposite should be happening. Twitter should be decentralized." Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has already come out against the proposal, saying it's too low, drawing a sharp reply from Musk questioning Saudi Arabia's "views on journalistic freedom of speech." Still, Musk provided some detail Thursday on his vision, saying he'd like to lift the veil on the algorithm that runs on the platform, even allowing people to look through it and suggest changes. The mercurial billionaire is known to support free speech but is also opposed to curbs which experts believe are important to prevent negative real-world ramifications like violence. "I do think that we want to be just very reluctant to delete things and just be very cautious with permanent bans. Timeouts, I think are better," Musk told the Ted conference on Thursday, without addressing Trump directly. "I think we want to really have, like a sort of obsession and reality, that speech is as free as reasonably possible," he added. Twitter not held hostage by Musk offer, says CEO Meanwhile, speaking to employees, Twitter CEO Parag Agarwal said the company is not held hostage by Musk's offer. "We as employees control what happens," he told staff, asking them to remain focused, according to news agency Reuters. It said he was responding to staff queries posted on the Slack messaging service of Twitter. Agarwal faced some tough questions in the interaction with staff. One of them asked how Twitter decided to offer Musk a seat in the company's board. "Are we just going to start inviting any and all billionaires to the board?" According to Reuters, Agrawal said the board was acting in the best interest of shareholders. "I have a strong point of view that people who are critical of our service, their voice is something that we must emphasise so that we can learn and get better." Agarwal didn't directly address a question as to how he viewed Musk's definition of free speech, according to Reuters. He said the company's work was focused on continuously improving "the health of conversation" on Twitter. On Musk's takeover offer, Agrawal said the board was continuing to review it, adding he was limited in what he could share with the employees.

Adilabad: Amid speculation that the TRS might go for early Assembly elections in 2023, it is expected that the results of the trade union elections in Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) will provide an indicator of public mood. As many as 25 Assembly constituencies fall in the region that comprises Adilabad, Karimnagar, Warangal and Khammam. At present, 50,000 workers of various state cadres are working in the SCCL. SCCL's CMD K. Sridhar recently expressed readiness to conduct elections. The SCCL has been in the news recently over reported that the Central government was planning to privatise four coal blocks. This has provided TBGKS, which is allied with the TRS, and other trade unions ammunition to target the BJP government, even as the saffron party refuted the allegations and condemned the false news. TRS party sources said that a win for its allied trade unions in the SCCL elections will set the mood for the Assembly elections and subsequently, the Lok Sabha polls in 2024. TBGKS has been twice elected as a recognised trade union in the SCCL elections, garnering support in the region. The BJP's ally, Singareni Coal Mines Karmika Sangh (BMS), is finding it tough in going up against TBGKS due to resistance from leftist unions of AITUC, INTUC, CITU and IFTU. The last elections were held in SCCL on October 5, 2017. Amid complaints that TBGKS' term ended in April 2022, all trade unions are now preparing for the elections and the TRS is looking to garner the support of the electorate starting here. ... ### Response: | TRS to assess mood of public through SCCL elections | 1,183,793 |

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 31 August 2021 -Premier global nutrition company,Herbalife Nutrition, today unveiled findings from its third annual Asia Pacific Breakfast Habits Survey 2021 , which revealed that the desire to improve health and well-being was the top reason that motivated Asia Pacific consumers to adopt positive breakfast habits. Three in ten (30 percent) consumers began eating breakfast more often as a result of the current situation, and half of the respondents who started doing so said they ate breakfast six to seven more days per week. To understand the impact of the current pandemic on Asia Pacific consumers' breakfast attitudes and habits as well as the behavior preferences of different demographic groups, Herbalife Nutrition's Asia Pacific Breakfast Habits Survey 2021 polled more than 5,500 consumers aged 18 and above across 11 markets - Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Approximately 50 percent of respondents in each market were Generation Zs (aged 18 - 24) or Millennials (aged 25 - 40). "The pandemic has sparked noticeable changes in the breakfast eating habits of consumers in Asia Pacific," said Stephen Conchie, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Herbalife Nutrition Asia Pacific. "With growing awareness of the need for a healthy and nutritious breakfast to support their well-being, many of them - including Generation Zs and Millennials - went from not eating breakfast before, to now consuming breakfast on a daily basis. This marks a step in the right direction to foster positive nutrition habits and lay the foundation for them to lead healthier lives." Higher Frequency of Breakfast Consumption More Evident Among Gen Zs, Millennials Two in five (37 percent) Generation Zs and Millennials in Asia Pacific began eating breakfast more often as a result of the pandemic, higher than the region's average of 30 percent across all age groups. The change in breakfast habits among Generation Zs and Millennials was particularly evident among those in Thailand (65 percent) and the Philippines (53 percent), with over half of consumers aged 18 to 40 now consuming breakfast more often. When asked about the reasons for consuming breakfast more often, the top reasons given by Generation Z and Millennials were similar to the average Asia Pacific consumer. These include: I want to improve my health and well-being (65 percent) I have more time in the morning to prepare breakfast (48 percent) I want to use this time at home to make a positive lifestyle change (41 percent) In addition to increased breakfast frequency, four in 10 Generation Zs and Millennials (41 percent) also started eating healthier breakfasts. This change was more prevalent among those in the Philippines (66 percent), Indonesia (61 percent) and Vietnam (57%). Key changes made by Generation Zs and Millennials to their choice of breakfast include: I incorporated more vegetables and fruits into my breakfast (57 percent) I made sure I have a nutritionally balanced meal at breakfast (54 percent) I drank more water at breakfast (52 percent) Increased Awareness of the Importance of Nutrition among Asia Pacific Consumers There is a remarkable increase in recognizing nutrition as an important element of their ideal breakfast among Asia Pacific consumers. When asked about factors that make up an ideal breakfast, respondents selected nutrition as the most important factor (50 percent), followed by quick and easy preparation (16 percent), taste (14 percent), and convenience (14 percent). In the Asia Pacific Breakfast Habits Survey conducted in 2019 by Herbalife Nutrition, nutrition was of a lower priority to consumers, ranked after taste and convenience. Asia Pacific Consumers See Value in Consuming a High-Protein Breakfast When asked about the personal benefits of consuming breakfast, respondents cited having an energy lift in the morning (76 percent), kickstarting their metabolism for the day (49 percent) and helping them to focus better at work or in school (49 percent) as the key advantages. In addition, the majority of the region's consumers (73 percent) also saw value in consuming a high-protein breakfast: 67 percent said a high-protein breakfast helps keep them fueled until their next meal or snack 65 percent shared that it helps to support muscle health 53 percent shared that it helps to boost their immunity Inconvenience is the Top Barrier Preventing Consumers from Eating Healthier Breakfasts While the majority (74 percent) of respondents believe that it is important to have a healthy breakfast on a daily basis, and intend to consume healthier breakfast options (85 percent), a minority continue to face barriers in making healthy breakfasts a key part of their daily routine. Among those who do not intend to consume healthier breakfast options, the main reasons were: Healthier breakfast options take too long to make (27 percent) Healthier breakfast options do not matter to them (25 percent) Healthier breakfast options are expensive (23 percent) When asked about their willingness to spend for their ideal breakfast, the majority were unwilling to spend more than the equivalent of US$5 per meal. "A healthier breakfast does not necessarily take too long to make," added Conchie. "There are a wide range of fuss-free breakfast options which include more nutrients, yet are easy and quick to prepare. These will provide consumers with energy to start their day whilst improving overall well-being in the longer term."

Indian opener and Test vice-captain, Rohit Sharma, in the ongoing series against Australia had a field day on the fourth day of the series decider at the Gabba in Brisbane. Sharma was in the mood to mimic everyone and on the couple of occasions that he did, it left the fans as well as onlookers in splits. The first such instance took place immediately in the first over of the Australian innings after the first drinks during the morning session. Australian openers David Warner and Marcus Harris had got off to a brilliant start to the day as they smashed the Indian bowlers to all corners of the Gabba in the first hour to take the score to 0/89. However, just at the stroke of the drink's break, Shardul Thakur struck courtesy a sharp bumper to Marcus Harris. Rohit Sharma [Image Credit: Twitter] And, immediately after the break, Washington Sundar got into the act as he trapped the dangerous-looking David Warner plumb in front of the wickets. Umpire Paul Wilson immediately adjudged Warner LBW. The southpaw even started walking with a dejected look on his face before being convinced by his partner Marnus Labuschagne to go for the review. Warner did go for the review. However, as it turned out, the decision stayed post the review as the ball tracker showed three reds. On-field Umpire Paul Wilson was asked by the 3rd umpire to stay with his onfield decision but just as he was about to raise his finger again, Rohit Sharma also raised his finger in complete sync. The second instance came when Rohit Sharma mimicked Steve Smith as he shadow-batted between overs with the former Australian watching in amusement. Meanwhile, Australia has established their dominance in the game as they have racked up their second innings lead past the 300-run-mark with two wickets still in the bank. ### Response: | 'Umpire RoBro' Rohit Sharma Raises Finger With Paul Wilson To Confirm David Warner Dismissal | 2,379,122 |

As temperatures recently reached triple digits, farmer Joe Del Bosque inspected the almonds in his parched orchard in California's agriculture-rich San Joaquin Valley, where a deepening drought threatens one of the state's most profitable crops. Del Bosque doesn't have enough water to properly irrigate his almond orchards, so he's practicing "deficit irrigation" - providing less water than the trees need. He left a third of his farmland unplanted to save water for the nuts. And he may pull out 100 of his 600 acres of almond trees after the late summer harvest - years earlier than planned. "We may have to sacrifice one of them at the end of the year if we feel that we don't have enough water next year," said Del Bosque, who also grows melons, cherries and asparagus. "That means that our huge investment that we put in these trees is gone." A historic drought across the U.S. West is taking a heavy toll on California's $6 billion almond industry, which produces roughly 80% of the world's almonds. More growers are expected to abandon their orchards as water becomes scarce and expensive. It's a sharp reversal for the almond's relentless expansion in California's agricultural Central Valley, whose dry Mediterranean climate and reliable irrigation system made it the perfect location to grow the increasingly popular nut. Almond orchards are thirsty permanent crops that need water year-round, clashing with a worsening drought and intensifying heat waves tied to climate change. Scientists say climate change has made the American West much warmer and drier in the past 30 years and will keep making weather more extreme. California almond production grew from 370 million pounds (nearly 168 million kilograms) in 1995 to a record 3.1 billion pounds (1.4 billion kilograms) in 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. During that period, land planted with almond trees grew from 756 square miles (1,958 square kilometers) to 2,500 square miles (6,475 square kilometers). In May, the USDA projected that California's almond crop would hit a record 3.2 billion pounds (1.5 billion kilograms) this year, but in July, it scaled back that estimate to 2.8 billion pounds (1.3 billion kilograms), citing low water availability and record heat. "A lot of growers are having to go through a stressful time to make the water they have last to keep their trees alive," said Richard Waycott, president and CEO of the Almond Board of California, which represents more than 7,600 growers and processors. Almonds are California's top agricultural export. The industry ships about 70% of its almonds overseas, fueled by strong demand in India, East Asia and Europe, according to the board. As almond prices rose during a previous drought that California declared from 2012 to 2016, farmers and investors planted hundreds of square miles of new orchards in areas that lack reliable water supplies. "All of this increase in almonds and this increase in water demand, it's been done at a time when there's virtually no increase in water supply," said David Goldhamer, a water management specialist at the University of California, Davis. "The water embodied in the production of those almonds is being exported out of this country." The almond boom has run into the second major drought that California has declared in a decade. The U.S. Drought Monitor reported that 88% of the state was in "extreme drought" as of last week, with the Central Valley facing the worst conditions. The drought has drained reservoirs that supply water to Central Valley farms. In early August, Shasta Lake, the state's largest, was only 30% full, while Lake Oroville, the second largest, was only 24% full, according to the California Department of Water Resources. State and federal officials have reduced water for agriculture , forcing many farmers to leave fields fallow or switch to higher-value crops that use less water. Inside the processing facility of Stewart & Jasper Orchards, about a dozen women wearing hair nets and masks inspected almonds by hand as a river of nuts traveled over conveyer belts before they were packed into boxes and shipped to customers around the world. The Newman, California-based company processes about 60 million pounds (27 million kilograms) of almonds annually from more than 31 square miles (80 square kilometers) of orchards, including some 3 square miles (8 square kilometers) of its own. "The profitability of growing almonds is not the same as it was in the past," said owner Jim Jasper, whose father co-founded the company in 1948. "The world is going to start to see less almonds." Jasper estimates that about a third of California's orchards are planted in areas with unreliable water supplies, and many of them won't survive the drought. Some of his neighbors have stopped irrigating their orchards, and they're letting the trees die. "As you can see, there's one orchard here that's drying up because they just didn't have the money to buy the water. And we're seeing this all over the valley," Jasper said. As the drought drains reservoirs and Gov. Gavin Newsom calls on residents to voluntarily reduce water use by 15%, critics say the thirsty crop isn't sustainable at current levels in California. "If we're conserving in the cities so that they can grow more almonds, it's simply not fair because it's not benefiting the majority of Californians," said Tom Stokely, a board member for the California Water Impact Network, a nonprofit group that advocates for sustainable water use. Stokely believes the state should ban permanent crops like almond orchards in areas that don't have adequate water supplies. "With the climate change, the drought, the heat waves we're having, something's going to change very quickly or we're going to literally see our state collapse," Stokely said. "We need to do something about it."

The Taliban have denied that one of their top leaders has been killed in a shootout with rivals, following rumours about internal splits in the movement nearly a month after its lightning victory over the Western-backed government in Kabul. Suhail Shaheen, a Taliban spokesman, said Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, former head of the Taliban political office who was named deputy prime minister last week, issued a voice message rejecting claims he had been killed or injured in a clash. 'He says it is lies and totally baseless,' Shaheen said in a message on Twitter. The Taliban also released video footage purportedly showing Baradar at meetings in the southern city of Kandahar. Reuters could not immediately verify the footage. The denials follow days of rumours that supporters of Baradar had clashed with those of Sirajuddin Haqqani, head of the Haqqani network that is based near the border with Pakistan and was blamed for some of the worst suicide attacks of the war. The rumours follow speculation over possible rivalries between military commanders like Haqqani and leaders from the political office in Doha like Baradar, who led diplomatic efforts to reach a settlement with the United States. The Taliban have repeatedly denied the speculation over internal divisions. Baradar, once seen as the likely head of a Taliban government, had not been seen in public for some time and was not part of the ministerial delegation which met Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani in Kabul on Sunday. The movement's supreme leader, Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada, has also not been seen in public since the Taliban seized Kabul on Aug. 15, although he issued a public statement when the new government was formed last week. Speculation over Taliban leaders has been fed by the circumstances surrounding the death of the movement's founder, Mullah Omar, which was only made public in 2015 two years after it happened, setting off bitter recriminations among the leadership. ### Response: | Taliban deny their deputy prime minister, Mullah Baradar, is dead | 1,941,159 |

Majuli (Assam): Protests broke out in Assam's Majuli on Thursday over the boat capsize in Brahmaputra, prompting the police to baton-charge the people, including students, officials said. Power Minister Bimal Borah, who reached Majuli ahead of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma 's visit, was gheraoed by the agitating students, forcing him to sit on the road at Garmur Chariali for almost half-an-hour as he tried to talk to the protesters. Trying to pacify the agitators, Borah said, "I have come here to listen to your grievances. You please talk among yourselves and then let a delegation meet us with your demands." ADVERTISEMENT CONTINUE READING BELOW Though he tried to end the protests, he left when agitators did not relent and demanded the chief minister to come and talk to them. Borah silently walked away as the police escorted him out of the crowd. "No tickets are given on the boats and no life jackets are there. We have been hearing about a bridge since our birth, but not a single pillar is seen so far," a protesting student said. Another student said that they asked several questions to Borah, but "he could not answer anything". When the situation got tense with protesters trying to break a barricade, police and paramilitary personnel used force to disperse the crowd. ADVERTISEMENT CONTINUE READING BELOW "We had to use mild lathi-charge after the crowd became restless. We have reports of some protesters sustaining injuries, but cannot confirm the number," a police officer said. An agitating student claimed the police baton-charged the peaceful protesters without any provocation. Representatives of the All Assam Students' Union (AASU) met the chief minister as he visited Majuli following the protests. They demanded punishment for those responsible for the boat capsize. At least one person is dead and two more missing after a private boat with 90 people onboard capsized and sank in Brahmaputra on Wednesday evening, following a head-on collision with a government-owned ferry near Nimati Ghat in Jorhat district.

Spain vs Albania LIVE: International Friendlies live streaming - A first half with everything but a goal, Spain will wonder how they've not broken the deadlock in the first 45 minutes. Spain have had seven shots, with three on target, whilst Albania are yet to even attempt one, and should La Roja breach the Albanian defence early in the second half, the floodgates could well and truly open, as the visitors are hanging on by a thread. Spain vs Albania LIVE: SPA 2-1 ALB; Dani Olmo scores a late winner as Spain see out Albania in a friendly; Albania scored through a defensive error by the hosts SPAIN TEAM NEWS: Spain boss Enrique has left David de Gea out of his squad despite the goalkeeper's impressive form for Manchester United this season, although Unai Simon is now firmly the national team's number one. Brentford's David Raya will be hoping to make his debut for La Roja over their next two matches, while the likes of Carlos Soler, Hugo Guillamon, Gavi, Raul de Tomas and Yeremi Pino should all be involved. Enrique is expected to send a relatively experienced XI onto the field for this game, though, with Ferran Torres, Pablo Sarabia and Dani Olmo likely to start as the front three, meaning that Alvaro Morata, who is comfortably the leading goalscorer in the squad with 23, might have to accept a spot on the bench. Enea Mihaj has been forced to withdraw from the squad due to a positive COVID-19 test, while Nedim Bajrami will also not be involved in this match through injury. Head coach Reja is likely to send a 3-5-2 formation onto the field, with Rey Manaj and Myrto Uzuni, who have 10 international goals between them, featuring as the front two. Lazio's Thomas Strakosha is expected to get the nod between the sticks, while Armando Broja, who has excelled on loan at Southampton this season, should be involved at some stage of the match.

Like many chasing their dream of a good life, a young man from Ahmednagar, just outside Pune, came to the US to pursue a degree in MBA. He was as hungry for the American dream as he was for his bhelpuri . Of course, Meherwan Irani didn't know back then that the humble puffed rice chaat would make that dream come true. As his Chai Pani restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina, was declared America's 'Outstanding Restaurant' in the 2022 James Beard Awards last week, nobody knows that life had tossed him about just as vigorously as the masala in his bhel. 'I was in the automotive industry, selling luxury cars. But following the economic meltdown of 2009, the good life just dissipated. I was 39 and had to move from San Francisco to Asheville. But even during the lows, I never gave up on my love for bhel. Thanks to my wife Molly, I took a leap of faith, getting into the business of selling Indian food to a 99 per cent White population and just three Indian families back then,' says Irani, who arrived in the US at the age of 19. Of course, Irani understood multiculturalism, courtesy his family — his mother was a north Indian Hindu who married a Parsi. And he understood the way the West looked at Indian flavours thanks to the family's brief spell in London. 'My mother is an excellent cook and while we were growing up, she always kept our food light and bright, with all the colours of the season's greens. In London, she incorporated certain elements of Western cuisine, blending just enough so that you could appreciate the best of both cultures. Back in India, she learnt to make the most lip-smacking bhelpuri for me, just to keep me from falling sick or running to the street vendor, which was a runaway thrill during my school years. She did something with the tamarind sauce and elevated the dish, making it even more delicious and tangy. That's the flavour which made me and now stands me in good stead,' says the 52-year-old. Deliciousness as opposed to hotness was Irani's winning formula as he debuted as a chef with Chai Pani. The name came easy as it resonates across India to define a mid-work break and some shared bonhomie over tea. 'I intuitively knew what would work. Much of Indian cuisine is really a collection of standout regional recipes. Yet street food, and particularly the chaat, is about including various Indian flavours in a zesty mix. It is complex in its layering and is at once democratic, inclusive and affordable. I was confident what had worked with a billion people would work anywhere,' says Irani, who became a US citizen in 2018. Of course, he had the two women in his life for his venture. Irani's mother moved to the US for three months in 2009, coached a diverse but novice American staff, added fresh flavours, herbs and combinations, while he drew on some elements from Irani cafés. Amrit Irani, his 71-year-old mother, had advised him that simple, home-style, comfort food gets repeat customers because it is an easy memory to keep. From her farmhouse in Ahmednagar, she says, 'Meherwan would always hang around the kitchen when I cooked. He was quick to pick up tricks and tips and would roll out a menu for a friends' night-out here. That's how he understood the need for in-between food. But what has worked for him is his love for people, he can just draw them in.' In fact, Irani's sense of community was anchored by his mother's voluntary service at the nearby ashram. With her family home at Dehradun's Haridwar Road, Amrit had perfected the art of vegetarian food long ago. So, it matters to Irani that her favourites at Chai Pani are its pakoras. Meanwhile, Molly, who grew up in a family of foodpreneurs, had understood the clientele at Asheville, who were confined but open-minded. She felt that hyper-local Indian might just work in the 'food-on-the go' culture of the US. She constantly told him that 'risks could only be taken during challenging times' and he 'had nothing to lose'. That's why the Beard honour, considered to be as sacred as the Michelin, means much to Irani as it acknowledges both the maker and his institution unlike the latter which confers the star on the restaurant rather than its chef. Irani also watches his budgets and keeps his dishes affordable, mostly under $14. He has recreated the Bombay canteen style look at Chai Pani, part working class, part industrial, with Indian truck-art motifs and kitschy colour. Food is served in stainless steel thalis as a sustainability choice and salutes the tiffin-carrying, blue-collar work culture in India. Of course, he has deployed some smart marketing skills too, calling his version of keema pao 'Sloppy Jai', a clever twist of the 'Sloppy Joe' burger. Chai Pani's bestsellers happen to be simple and no-nonsense - bhelpuri, sev dahi puri, corn bhel, green mango chaat, potato chaat, aloo tikki, kale pakoras and, of course, given the acceptability of crêpes in the US, the uttapam. The julienned okra fries, their signature dish, is tossed with salt and seasoning and served with a lime wedge, enough to draw in vegans and vegetarians. 'Munch into our pakoras, there's a momentary sting of the spices and then there is an explosion of flavours. Their fullness surprises people. The crunch is unique because I whisk chickpea flour (besan) in warm water and let it rise naturally,' says Irani, who adds a lot of home-grown spices, Kashmiri ones too, to his food, rubbing them in deep. Then there's the vada pao. 'I always go back to my childhood to create the best version of it. That's why every year I visit India and go back to my favourite haunts. For vada pao, it's MG Road in Pune, for samosas, it is still Ahmednagar, I swear by bhelpuris from Kalyani, and trust pani puris from Elco Market, Mumbai. There is no replacement for nostalgia. So, when my diners weep and say the dal reminded them of back home or when White Americans say that they cannot imagine their life's milestone events without Chai Pani being a part of it, the 13 years seem worth it,' he says, beaming with pride. Chai Pani now has more branches while it has opened a sister chain called Botiwala (across US), recreating the best of kebabs and Irani café favourites like bun maska. But ever since his aromatic spices, which he sources from India, were listed by Oprah Winfrey in O, The Oprah Magazine, in her annual Favourite Things list, 2019, everybody wanted them. So, Irani's Spicewalla boxes, an allied boutique brand, now retails Indian spices all across America and supplies to restaurants. As America's outstanding restaurant, what helped Chai Pani steam ahead is its engagement with the community. It has 'Give Back' Fridays, where proceeds of the day's sales are ploughed back into community development initiatives. He has started an 'Aunty Brigade', where he asks stay-at-home Indian women to lend their expertise in the kitchen, like his mother did at one time. Twice a year, Irani organises an all-expenses paid trip to India for his team so that they learn not just about food first-hand but can volunteer for Dharavi Diary, an organisation devoted to educating the girl child, covering the basics like English, science and mathematics. 'Yes, India is a country of extremes and paradoxes. Yes, there is poverty. But no Indian, no matter how distressed, feels sorry for himself and always tries to make a way in life. You will have street vendors lined up next to each other, selling the same thing. But each survives with that one little innovation or tweak with whatever resources they have and court their loyalists. There is virtue in jugaad. The flavours in Indian food have evolved from these people,' says Irani. ### Response: | How Meherwan Irani made our chai pani America's new favourite | 1,320,444 |

Colombo, May 23 (PTI) A top bureaucrat of Sri Lanka's Ministry of Security who is in charge of the police department resigned on Monday over his failure to curb the violent clashes between anti- and pro-government protesters earlier this month that killed at least 10 people and injured over 200 others. On May 9, violence erupted in Sri Lanka after supporters of former prime minister Mahinda Rajapaksa attacked peaceful anti-government protesters demanding his ouster over the country's worst economic crisis that led to acute shortages of staple food, fuel and power. Major General (Retd.) Jagath Alwis has stepped down from his position as the Secretary to the Ministry of Public Security, after submitting his resignation to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, officials said. On Monday, Alwis was grilled by Sri Lanka's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for close to four hours, and his statement was recorded over his alleged actions that triggered violent clashes at Galle Face on May 9. Last week, Education Minister Ramesh Pathirana informed the Parliament that Senior Police DIG in-charge of the Western Province Deshabandu Tennakoon had informed President Gotabaya Rajapaksa that Inspector General of Police Chandana D. Wickramaratne had instructed him not to block the mob heading to Galle Face to disrupt the anti-government protesters, online portal Colombo Gazette reported. Pathirana added that the President demanded action be taken to prevent the situation from spiralling out of control. Following the President's orders, police rushed to the spot and fired tear gas and water cannons on the mob, by which time scores were injured and at least 10 people were dead, according to Colombo Gazette. Members of CID interrogated Wickramaratne on Saturday, officials said. Alwis and Wickramaratne have been blamed for the violence that happened on May 9. Last week, Sri Lanka's CID also quizzed three members of the ruling SLPP parliamentary group over their alleged involvement in the clashes. Two of their colleagues who were arrested previously have been remanded in custody till May 25. On Friday, Namal Rajapaksa, a former minister and the son of former Sri Lankan Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa also summoned and his statement was recorded. Members of the ruling coalition government blamed Opposition party Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna for instigating the violence on May 9, which was vehemently denied by the Marxist party. The mob destroyed several tents and other structures erected at Galle Face and also attacked some of the demonstrators. The violence saw arson attacks on the homes of several politicians, including the ancestral home of the Rajapaksas in Hambantota. The properties of some 78 government parliamentarians faced arson in the ensuing attacks. Sri Lanka has been witnessing large-scale protests against the government’s handling of the debt-ridden economy — the worst-ever economic crisis in the country’s history. The country of 22 million is grappling with unprecedented economic turmoil since its independence from Britain in 1948. The crisis is caused in part by a lack of foreign currency, which has meant that the country cannot afford to pay for imports of staple foods and fuel, leading to acute shortages and very high prices.

New Delhi: The Shiv Sena has approached the Supreme Court asking that the newly ordained Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde and 15 other MLAs against whom disqualification petitions have been filed be suspended from the state assembly while the petitions are decided on. The court has agreed to hear the matter on July 11. The vacation bench of Justices Surya Kant and J.B. Pardiwala said on Friday (July 1) morning that this petition, filed by Shiv Sena chief whip Sunil Prabhu, will be heard alongside the main petitions on the recent developments in Maharashtra, LiveLaw reported. Prabhu's advocate Kapil Sibal had asked for an urgent hearing of the matter on Friday. 'The delinquent MLAs who have been acting as pawns of the BJP, thereby committing the constitutional sin of defection, ought not to be allowed to perpetuate their sin even for a single day by permitting them to continue as members of the assembly,' NDTV quoted the petition as saying. On Monday, soon after Shinde and the other MLAs had made their motives clear, the Shiv Sena led by former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray had asked the deputy speaker to disqualify the 16 MLAs. The rebel MLAs had then approached the Supreme Court, saying any move to disqualify them would be illegal. 'After June 29 order, Eknath Shinde was sworn in as Chief Minister. There is no merger. How are you going to control the house? Whose whip is to be followed? The moment he is sworn in, he has incurred disqualification under para 2. He is not the party,' Sibal submitted before the court on Friday. While Shinde has come to power with the Bharatiya Janata Party's support, the 16 rebel MLAs claim to still represent the Shiv Sena. Thackeray and his supporters have denied this in their petition. 'Despite the rebellion carried out by the Eknath Shinde faction, the original Shiv Sena political party remains under the leadership of Uddhav Thackeray…who was elected president of the Shiv Sena way back on 23.01.2018 when the organisational elections of the were conducted and the same was communicated to the Election Commission on 27.02.2018,' the petition states. ### Response: | Shiv Sena Wants Shinde, Others Suspended Till Decision on Disqualification; SC to Hear on July 11 | 10,077 |

Investment in currency comes in various shapes and sizes, but they can be broadly whittled down to two propositions: one based on Kim Kardashian, the other on Meryl Streep.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. Both are well-known celebrities-one new, the other old; one a reality star, the other a talented actor. The new one can drive hype and 'break the Internet', the other is a benchmark for acting excellence. One thrives on Instagram and has an army to manage her social media; the other is more nuanced, uses traditional media and has proved her mettle. Cryptocurrency is the Kardashian of the investment world; you don't know its intrinsic value but go by the short-term perceptions of a fleeting crowd of this being a hot investment. The value of cryptocurrencies has spiralled up so high that it is recommended as an investment option. To stretch the analogy, if Kim Kardashian were to say "I am Meryl Streep" or better "I am Crypto Streep, which is Meryl and better," would investors buy that? They normally wouldn't but that's happening now-not only is cryptocurrency being seen as the real currency, it's perceived by some as even better than the real currency as its value keeps going up as more and more people buy into it. Normally, if the value of anything only goes up if more people invest (mine) in it, it is a ponzi scheme. Several cryptocurrency exchanges sell cryptocurrency as an investment. Normally, an entity selling investment options needs to register as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). But these cryptocurrency exchanges are bypassing that legal formality of registration or compliance. SEBI is also watching from the sidelines-watching Page One articles and advertisements advising investment in cryptocurrency. VIEW | RBI Lost Case on Cryptocurrency in Supreme Court, It Must Stop Behaving Like Sore Loser Whatever be the perception or "sentiment", the term "cryptocurrency" itself is a misnomer. There is nothing cryptic about it nor is it a currency. The currency bit is added to give credibility to what is basically a token on a general digital ledger. Supporters of cryptocurrency would have us believe that this is the future of currency because it is about technology; technology is inevitable, its march is inexorable, it is inescapable, and India will fall behind the development curve if it ignores technology. The shysters have repeated this argument so many times that the Supreme Court and even Parliament believe that cryptocurrency should be legitimized. This while the savvy investors behind this fake currency are running circles around them. They have even been able to convince Parliament to introduce a bill to ensure that they are a legitimate investment option. The bill is pending approval and it will effectively turn Kim Kardashian into a Meryl Streep. It may not be physically possible but could be legislatively made possible. Cryptocurrency has to be called what it is-it's an all-out fake. It's not even a currency. A currency is real ONLY if it is issued by the central bank. Every other currency with any first name is a fake. Any digital currency being used in India can be a real currency only if it is issued by the RBI. The RBI is issuing a digital currency of its own. One that will have intrinsic value as it will be guaranteed by the central bank as convertible into real rupees. RBI's Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) will clear the funk around cryptocurrency. Which is why venture capitalists and private investors who have put money into it are trying to sell as much of it to unsuspecting retail investors before it all turns to junk. They are trying to push a bill through Parliament. They are trying to force the Supreme Court to intervene so that the regulator does not ban it. So far, they have been able to confuse enough people into believing that the fake currency is the future as it is about technology. A cryptocurrency is as much about technology as an aluminium manufacturing company is about power. Just because an aluminium company uses power to convert bauxite into aluminium! If a fake currency company uses blockchain technology, how is it about technology? Using technology does not make cryptocurrency real. Cryptocurrency is not a legal matter for the judiciary; it is a regulatory matter that has to be decided by SEBI and RBI. The central bank decides what is a legal currency in the country, and it has already said that it is progressing with a regulatory structure to make CBDC possible. SEBI has the jurisdiction and the power to prevent all the cryptocurrency exchanges from selling this fake currency as an investment vehicle. It has chosen not to exercise its powers in spite of the confusion all this is creating. It is waiting for a scam to happen-something we saw with the collective investment schemes (CIS) in the past. Parliament should not pass a bill that will legitimize a fake currency and will create all sorts of challenges for the economy. A fake currency creates a fake economy parallel to the real one, hiding transactions, and hiding them from taxation. Should Parliament be part of an active creation of a parallel economy, only to realize the mistake after they have passed the bill? It is the fervent hope of all right-thinking citizens that the Supreme Court does not allow itself to be persuaded that our central bank does not understand currency; that the Ministry of Finance does not understand the workings of a parallel economy; that the only ones who understand technology, currency, and their importance to an economy are a motley bunch that has been deceiving and sidestepping governments and regulators across the world The author is CEO, Center for Innovation in Public Policy.

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday hit out at the Central government over the Pegasus snooping matter, alleging that she was not sure whether she could talk to fellow Opposition leaders without being spied upon. Making a virtual address that was beamed live not just across West Bengal but also in states like Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Punjab, Tripura and poll-bound Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh, Mamata said the Government of India should be "plastered" in order to save the country. Holding her mobile phone that was wrapped in a white bandage, the Trinamool Congress supremo said "the Government of India should be plastered otherwise the country will be ruined." She alleged that the phones of Opposition leaders were being tapped, adding that the BJP was working to destroy federal structure. "Our phones are tapped. Pegasus is dangerous and ferocious. I cannot talk to anyone. You are paying too much money for spying. I have plastered my phone. We should also plaster the Centre otherwise country will be destroyed. BJP has bulldozed federal structure," she said. "Khela will happen in all states until the BJP is removed from the country. We'll celebrate Khela Diwas on August 16. We'll give footballs to poor children. Today, our freedom is at stake. The BJP has endangered our liberty. They don't trust their own ministers and misuse agencies," she added. The Bengal CM's remarks have come amid the row that spyware Pegasus, developed by Israeli firm NSO Group, was used to snoop on hundreds of Indians, including Union ministers, opposition leaders, activists, journalists and scientists. The list of snooping targets or potential targets includes the name of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and election strategist Prashant Kishor, who had helped Mamata's TMC in the recently-held Bengal polls that saw Mamata come back to power for a third consecutive time. Mamata's TMC observes July 21 as Martyrs' Day every year to pay homage to the 13 persons who had died at a Youth Congress rally in Kolkata in 1993. However, this year, the TMC is using the occasion to spread its wings across the country in a bid to become a national party. By telecasting Banerjee's address across several key states, many of them ruled by the BJP, the TMC is aiming to announce the party's arrival on the national stage. ### Response: | 'Govt of India should be plastered': Mamata hits out over Pegasus snooping row | 1,385,835 |

Agencies Pokrovsk (Ukraine): Russia opened a new front in its war in Ukraine on Wednesday, cutting NATO members Poland and Bulgaria off from its gas, a dramatic escalation in the conflict that is increasingly becoming a wider battle with the West.Click here to get the latest updates on Ukraine - Russia conflict One day after the United States and other Western allies vowed to speed more and better military supplies to Ukraine, the Kremlin upped the ante, using its most essential export as leverage. It then went even further, saying Russia could halt gas supplies to other European customers. European gas prices shot up on the news that Poland and Bulgaria were cut off, a move that European leaders denounced as blackmail. In a memo, state-controlled Russian giant Gazprom said it was cutting Poland and Bulgaria off from its natural gas because they refused to pay in Russian rubles, as President Vladimir Putin had demanded. The company said it had not received any such payment since the beginning of the month. The gas cuts do not immediately put the countries into dire trouble since they have worked on getting alternative sources for several years now and the continent is heading into summer, making gas not as essential for households. Still, it sent shivers of worry through the 27-nation European Union, which immediately convened a special coordination group to limit the impact of the move. And Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov's ensuing warning was sure to worry them even more. He told reporters that other European customers may be cut off if they also refuse to pay in rubles. ### Response: | Russia cuts off 2 EU nations from its gas | 688,741 |

Meet Afreen Hyder, Kashmiri female taekwondo athlete aiming for Olympics Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], July 21 (ANI): Afreen Hyder , an international Taekwondo player from Kashmir, wants to represent India in Olympics. She is the first international Taekwondo player, who has been shining in Kashmir Valley for the past few years. Hyder has returned to India after giving a good performance at a Taekwondo Grand Prix event in South Korea. Hyder said that her Taekwondo journey started in school. "I never thought of pursuing it professionally. I saw children training in Taekwondo in school and thought it was cool. So I decided to train too. I won my first ever medal at the national level in 2010, a gold medal and since then, this sport has been my passion," Hyder told ANI.In 2014, Hyder shifted from Srinagar to Jammu. She had completed her schooling at Delhi Public School (DPS) in Srinagar and started pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Delhi. In 11th grade, she had to make a choice between her two passions: engineering or sports while studying non-medical science. Hyder eventually realised that academics was not really for her and decided to turn into a full-time athlete. Hyder also expressed gratitude to her coach Atul Pangotra. "In Jammu, Atul sir taught me a lot. Later, I got my training for a year in one of the best academies in Bhopal. Currently, I am training in Gurugram, which also has one of the finest academies of India," she added. Hyder said that she has participated in numerous international events and currently holds rank 1 in India as a player. "My current world rank is 91, I want to raise it. For it, we have to play in tournaments. I went to Iran and Riyadh for these. Women's championships were held in November last year in Riyadh. Such tournaments give us a lot of experience and opportunities to win a medal," she added. Asked about her current plans, Hyder said that she will be preparing for World Championships and Asian Games. Later, her goal will shift to the 2024 Olympics. Her mother, Shiraz has always supported her passion and is proud of her. "I have always supported her. I would urge other parents to support their children in whichever field they want to follow. I am happy that my daughter is number one in Taekwondo, I am proud to be her mother," she added.

Mother's Day Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May, every year. It is a celebration of the relentless love, sacrifice and cares that a mother has towards her child. This year the special day for moms will be celebrated on May 8. A mother plays many different roles for a child and so a quote by American author Mitch Albom perfectly sums up the epitome of care and love that mothers are. "When you look into your mother's eyes, you know that is the purest love you can find on this earth". From being a parent to a sibling and best friend, a mother dons many hats but never complains. With her treasured knowledge, you can face any tough time and come out stronger. She protects you, loves you, pampers you and makes you a competent human being. Can you even imagine a life without her? It seems impossible. Thus, Mother's day is celebrated to thank moms for all the sacrifices that they have done, each and every day and throughout their life. The second Sunday of May is celebrated as Mother's Day every year in India. This year it will be celebrated on May 8. The day was first celebrated in 1908 when a woman named Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at St Andrew's Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia. She also started a campaign to recognise Mother's Day as a holiday in the United States, in the year 1905, when her mother Ann Reeves Jarvis had passed away. While her request to make the day a holiday was denied initially, by 1911, the US states started observing a holiday to show their gratitude to their mothers. Anna Jarvis has been quoted saying that in 1876 she heard her mother recite the following prayer after teaching a Sunday School lesson: "I hope and pray that someone, sometime, will found a memorial mother's day commemorating her for the matchless service she renders to humanity in every field of life." In order to honour mothers, Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating the second Sunday in the month of May as a national holiday in 1941. ### Response: | Mother's Day 2022: Date, History and Significance of the special day | 764,145 |

The campaign was launched across 27,700 booths in the state. Nadda addressed party workers before the launch, and said that it is a 'matter of pride' that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the 'politicis of casteism, familialism, dynasty and communalism' has ended in India and the 'politics of development has become popular,' news agency ANI reported. 'Under his (PM Modi) leadership, BJP won 325 seats in 2017 and made history. In the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections, people of UP gave their support to the politics of development. The enthusiasm of BJP workers gives a clear indication of the future of Uttar Pradesh,' he was quoted as saying. Nadda said that as per surveys, BJP's win in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls is 'certain.' He also lauded Uttar Pradesh for leading among all Indian states in inoculating Covid-19 vaccines to beneficiaries, emphasising that the chief minister Yogi Adityanath-led state government has contributed in more development of the state that what Samajwadi Party (SP), Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and Congress could do in the previous 60 years. Nadda also said that during the Covid-19 pandemic, when political leaders went into 'lockdown, under quarantine,' BJP workers 'risked their lives and considered it their duty to help the needy.' 'We have political leaders who go abroad for vacation even when a Parliament session is underway,' he added.

Continuity within the England Test squad has been hampered by the circumstances created by the Covid-19 pandemic, says captain Joe Root. However, the players have been working hard and their work ethics cannot be questioned, Root said, backing his under-fire players ahead of the second Test against India. England were skittled out for 183 in their first innings to concede a 95-run lead to India. Root then scored a second innings hundred as the hosts managed 303 to set India a tricky target. The match, however, ended in a draw after rain washed out the final day. "You see the guys put in the work time and time again.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. One thing you can never question about anyone in this team is their work ethic. I think everyone throws everything into their practice and does everything they can to make themselves better," Root said during a virtual press-conference. "COVID-19 has had quite an effect on our consistency in backing up teams, whether that be workload through having to rotate players or through the conditions, it's been a difficult thing to get continuity in that respect." England came under sharp criticism following the batting unit's poor show in the first Test at Trent Bridge. Former captain Geoffrey Boycott slammed the batsmen for showing lack of patience and technique. Boycott also said that that the temptation of poking at the ball too much shows how the focus on limited overs cricket has had an effect on the players' ability in Test cricket. "In Test cricket, it's a fine margin, it's a fine balance. Of course you need a strong technique to be able to trust your defence, but you also need to be able to apply pressure on occasions," Root said. Root said rotating strike would be the key to success for his under-fire batsmen. "It's about getting off the strike, I think that's a really important thing, to rotate the strike, get down the other end," said Root said ahead of the second Test at Lord's beginning on Thursday. "Just rotate, we don't need to necessarily go out and crush it to the boundary ropes once or twice an over, but it is important to get that balance between scoring, defending and managing certain passages of play. So it's certainly something that we discussed as a team, how we can do that better. Ultimately, it's about managing out on the field, not just doing it well in practice," said the 30-year-old, who scored 64 and 109 in his two innings in first Test. Spin bowling all-rounder Moeen Ali, who hasn't played a Test on home soil since the 2019 Ashes, was brought back by England to lend balance to the side ahead of the second Test. "I've always been a huge fan of him. He's a wonderful cricketer across the formats. He has the ability to go out there and win games with bat and ball. He's proven in the past," Root said. "He plays best cricket when he's enjoying it and he's full of confidence. I'm quite happy to give him a huge amount of responsibility if he gets a chance to play, because he responds extremely well to that. He is a leader within the dressing room, has a great personality, drags people with him so it'd be great to have him back again."

There is no knowing as to which song in which language may waft you over while passing by this music store. One afternoon, it was a Haryanvi folk number, while another time it was a satire song in Kumaoni. For years, this music shop has been on the verge of becoming history. Its continuance reflects in the owner's failure to find a "better line of work". He has been planning for a long time to close his shop, "as soon as I get a nice job."Till then, Gupta Music Center in Gurugram will continue to epitomise this metropolis' cosmopolitanism. Its presence is a tribute to those Indians who come here from various parts of the country to build a new life. The shop stocks music CDs - obsolete elsewhere - in India's many languages and dialects that one may not find elsewhere. These are songs in Nepali, Bhojpuri, Maithili, Bengali, Bundelkhandi, Adivasi, Haryanvi, Kumaoni, Garhwali, Rajasthani, among others... But what is a 'Nagpuri language'?"It is from Jharkhand," informs owner Rajendra Gupta, perhaps concluding from the fact that the state of Jharkhand largely comprises the Chota Nagpur plateau.A Haryana native, he founded the shop in 1992. "I started my business by stocking Hindi, Haryanvi and Punjabi songs."Gradually, the owner explains, as Gurugram became a magnet for work opportunities, the "customer demand" of new citizens - "who often work in construction sites, hotels and dhabas" - urged him to expand his multilingual repertoire. Far from their homes, these new settlers would heal their homesickness in the songs of their native lands, says the shop owner."Initially, I used to sell (audio) cassettes, but they were replaced by the CDs," which have been replaced by the internet. Indeed, a Hindustan Times feature on the owner, published back in 2016, talked of how he was planning to shut down his music trade because of the redundancy of CDs. Six years later, the store has 3,000 CDs, though "many people come to me to get songs downloaded on to their memory cards."Meanwhile, his son too has joined his music business. "Mohit is 24. He has done a course in computers, but that is perhaps not enough to get a nice job."As long as the father (who is now 52) and son do not find a more lucrative career, this rare landmark is likely to survive.And if they do, then it will be time to say this landmark a final goodbye.Sign on to read the HT ePaper epaper.hindustantimes.com ### Response: | Delhiwale: Connecting India through music | 589,180 |

(This is Part 3 of a four-part series on the Socio-Political and Cricketing History between India and England. You can read parts one and two here.) India's win in the World Cup at Lord's on 25 June 1983 is part of cricketing folklore. What happened just before the match, despite seldom being discussed in as much detail, had results more far-fetching.BCCI president NKP Salve had requested two extra passes. When he was denied that, Salve - a Union cabinet minister - vowed to wrest the World Cup out of England, who had hosted the first three editions.Until this point, England had been challenged, even humiliated, on the field, but their authority had seldom been questioned off it. Salve set out to change that. He met Air Marshall Noor Khan, head of the Pakistan board, on the day after the final. Along with Gamini Dissanayake, they formed the Asian Cricket Council.At the ICC meeting that year of 1984, Salve promised to double the guarantee money for every participating nation to clinch the deal.

Less than a decade ago, Kerry Packer had done the same, but even the might of his wallet had failed to move England from the centre of the cricketing world. England, even with the support of Australia, would no longer be calling the shots.England toured India later that year, months after being demolished 0-5 by West Indies at home. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had been assassinated on 31 October. On 27 November, a day after hosting the English cricketers for dinner, Percy Norris, the British Deputy High Commissioner in Bombay, was shot dead the next day, half a mile away from the team hotel.The England team not only stayed put but came back from 0-1 to win the Test series 2-1 - a feat they would repeat 28 seasons later.

Despite the success of the 1987 World Cup, the BCCI was clueless about the fact that it owned the media rights to matches played in India. Its only source of revenue was from on-field advertisements. It sometimes even paid Doordarshan to cover matches.In November 1991, Dr Ali Bacher paid the BCCI a sum of USD 120,000 for the television rights of South Africa's ODI series in India. Just over a year later, England toured India. India thrashed them 3-0.Ahead of the tour, England had sent Keith Fletcher to South Africa to observe the touring Indian cricketers. "I don't believe we will have much problem with him," Fletcher reported about Anil Kumble. 'Kumble took 21 wickets in three Test matches. Fellow spinners Venkatapathy Raju and Rajesh Chauhan shared another 24. India won the first Test by eight wickets and the other two by an innings.England faced all sorts of problems on that tour. They made bizarre selections (including playing four seamers on a rank turner). Graham Gooch went down with food poisoning. Easy catches went down. The bowling was so toothless that Graeme Hick finished as the leading wicket-taker.And then, there were the excuses.Warne, Muralitharan, and Kumble: A Delectable Rivalry of ChampionsAnil Kumble shared an old picture with Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, and VVS Laxman.

He would have gotten away in another era, but now, Kamal Nath, Indian Forest and Environment Minister, promised a report on the 'effect of pollution levels upon the trajectories of India's spinners.'For their defeat, the England camp blamed Indian cuisine, Indian Airlines, the facial hair of their own cricketers, their manager's t-shirt and shorts, and Gooch's personal life - everything but the cricket.A battered, bruised Phil Tufnell commented, "I've done the elephants and I've done the poverty. It's time to go home." The remark would almost certainly have been racist by the standards of 2022.The BCCI sold the television rights to TWI for USD 1 million to show the matches to Indian fans. It made a profit of USD 600,000.Doordarshan took on TWI, but they were fighting a lost battle. The fans no longer cared for Doordarshan's archaic coverage. They had been wooed by Channel Nine's coverage of the 1992 World Cup, played under lights in coloured clothing. With TWI, they now knew that cricket telecasts in India could attain the same quality.A 1995 court order ensured Doordarshan lost any exclusive rights whatsoever on cricket in India. And the Indian subcontinent won the rights for hosting the World Cup for a second time, in 1996, before it could return to England.Hell broke loose in England. In The Telegraph, Christopher Martin-Jenkins wrote that England's "advantages cannot be matched by rival bidders from a vast and frequently unruly sub-continent." But none of that mattered, for in the same meeting, England and Australia had lost their long-standing veto rights at the ICC.Amidst all this, for the first time, ESPN began to broadcast Test matches from outside Asia in India live. Fans did not have to wait until morning to learn about how their heroes fared away from home.This was also the era of Sachin Tendulkar, who took off in full bloom from the mid-1990s and not merely with his on-field performances.

New Delhi: Terming his arrest by the Punjab Police last week “an act of kidnapping”, Delhi BJP spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga Wednesday said over 40-50 personnel came to arrest him as if he were a “terrorist”.Speaking to ThePrint, Bagga said he will also continue to raise his voice and ask “tough” questions of Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal, over the desecration of the Guru Granth Sahib, drug mafia and ‘Khalistani separatists’ in Punjab, which is now ruled by his party."They can continue registering FIRs against me, even if they raise 1,000 FIRs I will continue to raise my voice," said Bagga.Bagga was given a rousing welcome at the Delhi BJP headquarters Wednesday by the party’s Delhi president Adesh Gupta and West Delhi MP Parvesh Verma, after he was granted protection from arrest till 6 July by the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The case registered against him in Punjab is for allegedly making "provocative statements, promoting religious enmity, and criminal intimidation".After the Punjab cops took Bagga away, the Delhi Police had filed an FIR against "unknown persons" for allegedly assaulting and abducting Bagga. A team from the Haryana Police then intercepted the Punjab Police team in Kurukshetra. He was finally escorted back to capital by the Delhi Police. The Delhi Police comes under the ambit of the BJP-led central government, the Punjab Police under the state’s AAP government. The BJP, which rules Haryana, is also in charge of that state’s police.‘Let Bhagwant Mann function independently’Recounting his 6 May arrest by Punjab Police, Bagga said “an arrest without a warrant is kidnapping”.“Over 40-50 Punjab Police personnel came to arrest me as if I were a terrorist. I'm not scared and won't stop asking questions. Kejriwal can file a 1,000 FIRs, but I'll continue to ask questions," he said.Last month, AAP leader Sunny Ahluwalia had filed a complaint against Bagga for allegedly making incendiary social media posts, including a "threat" against party chief and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. The case was lodged at the cyber cell in Mohali (Punjab) under sections 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups), 505 (statements conducing to public mischief), 505-2 (statements creating or promoting enmity) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).The Delhi BJP spokesperson said his tweet was in the context of the film The Kashmir Files, in which he had said "if Kejriwal doesn't apologise to Hindus, I won’t let him be. It did not mean I wanted to kill him".The Delhi CM had drawn criticism for his remarks against the film - based on the exodus of Kashmiri Hindus from the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir in the 1990s - being made tax-free in many BJP-governed states.When it was pointed out that there have been similar incidents of BJP-led governments taking action against people for controversial comments and tweets, Bagga defended his party. "BJP does everything under the ambit of the law," he said.He further said that an attempt was made to arrest him by the Punjab Police, as he had questioned Kejriwal on promises made by him to act against those who dishonoured the Guru Granth Sahib in Punjab (a reference to incidences of alleged desecration), rein in the “drug mafia” in the state and “Khalistani separatists”, ahead of this year’s assembly elections, which AAP won by a huge margin."While Punjab Police was busy arresting me, terrorists were planning attacks in the state. Kejriwal thinks he's bigger than the law and B.R. Ambedkar. My advice to Kejriwal is to see sense and let Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann function independently," he said.(Edited by Poulomi Banerjee): Tajinder Bagga - Delhi BJP leader with penchant for scuffles, often dismissed as 'Twitter troll' ### Response: | 'Raise 1,000 FIRs, I'll keep raising my voice': BJP's Bagga dares Kejriwal after police drama | 838,698 |

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], May 5 (ANI/BusinessWire India): Terra Motors and West Bengal State Government Strengthen Relationship for Public-Private Partnership . First in the East India region, a foothold for the expansion of EV infrastructure.Click here to get Latest Updates on Cars & Bikes Terra Motors, a global electric vehicle company from Japan was at the West Bengal Global Summit held recently. A video of the "West Bengal Global Summit" speech is now available on the official website.Terra Motors' booth was exhibited at the Bengal Global Business Summit, a flagship event organised by the West Bengal government and held from April 20 to 21, 2022, to attract active business in West Bengal and investment from the global business community. In addition, they were also invited to the "Japan Session: Initiatives from Northeast India by Japanese Companies" and the "Sectoral Sessions Industry" programme during the summit, and a video of CEO Ueda's speech has been posted on the official website.Check out the movie "West Bengal Global Summit", which summarises objectives and plans for the new partnership.Movie URL:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91M2hT_mIto This is a movement to create an ecosystem essential for the EV sector. As the only Japanese automotive company based in East India, MHI has a proven track record as a company capable of Japan-India collaboration, public-private partnerships, and private-public partnerships. "Government and private sector" and "private sector and private sector" work in unison.By bringing together the "public and private sector" and "private sector and private sector," they will promote the construction of an "ecosystem," starting with a public-private partnership between the government of the state of West Bengal in India and Terra Motors, a Japanese EV mega-venture company."The biggest reason for the government to invite us to this summit is that we are taking the initiative in the EV sector. The problem in West Bengal is that there is no business initiative for the EV industry. And as we are taking the lead in this industry, the government wants to take advantage of our leading power to accelerate the business," says Akihiro Ueda, CEO of Terra Motors.West Bengal has the sixth-largest economy in India, with a GSDP of 14.44 trillion rupees (206.64 billion US dollars) in 2020-21. The Bengal Global Business Summit (BGBS), hosted for the 6th time by the state of Bengal, is an ideal platform for attracting development and investment in developing industries and businesses, and despite the pandemic, the state has achieved a positive growth rate of 1.2 per cent between 2020-21. The BGBS 2019 was attended by more than 4,000 delegates, including 450 international delegates from 35 countries. Visit https://bengalglobalsummit.com for more information. Top highlights of the partnership with the Government of West Bengal1. The need for co-creation between the state government and the private sectorCurrently, West Bengal lacks a driving force for business and the EV industry. Therefore, the state needs the private sector to boost industry and drive business. Currently, only 20-30 per cent of West Bengal's EVs are registered in the state. The challenge for penetration is that it is not easy to build a holistic service offering for the lifestyle transformed by EVs, from financing to providing products and battery infrastructure to potential users who are "willing to buy EVs". However, the future prospect of 100 per cent EV user registration permits is a promising one for the remaining "70-80 per cent EV expansion" in the region.This is why state governments and the private sector are critical to the growth of the EV market through collaboration. Promotion will be done through collaboration with Terra Motors, which has already taken the initiative in the Indian EV market to meet the expectations of the state government to be a "change agent" and contribute to the economic development of East India, starting with West Bengal.2. Potential for business development in West Bengal in the futureAs an independent state, West Bengal has three characteristics. First, West Bengal already has abundant resources, such as water and labour, necessary for manufacturing. The second is its geographical advantage. West Bengal is located in the centre of East India and is better situated to access major East Indian locations than other areas in northern India, such as Assam and Bihar. The third is population. East India, including the states near West Bengal, has about 30 per cent of India's population and is a large region with a growing GDP of about $500 billion.3. Expectations for high quality and the realisation of Japan-India collaboration aiming for "co-creation"The reason why Terra Motors, a Japanese company, rather than a local Indian EV manufacturer, was selected for this project is because of the expectations as per the philosophy of "quality first". Terra Motors pursues quality not only in manufacturing, but also in service and interpersonal communication. As a global company originating from Japan, they have been conscious of permeating the corporate culture and carefully growing one by one over time to build brand power and trust within India. They will continue to build good partnerships for value creation in EV infrastructure expansion.This story is provided by BusinessWire India.

A new study has discovered that one in every three adults, especially younger adults, women, and those of lower socioeconomic status experience psychological distress related to COVID-19. A new study has discovered that one in every three adults, especially younger adults, women, and those of lower socioeconomic status experience psychological distress related to COVID-19. Researchers at Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore reported in the journal 'PLOS ONE' that COVID-19 continues to pose serious threats to public health across the globe, and interventions such as lockdowns, quarantine, and social distancing are having an adverse impact on the mental well-being of populations. The pandemic has escalated the burden of psychological distress, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and insomnia. However, the factors associated with increased susceptibility to psychological distress among adults in the general population during COVID-19 are not yet well known. "Understanding these factors is crucial for designing preventive programmes and mental health resource planning during the rapidly evolving COVID-19 outbreak," explained Professor Tazeen Jafar, from the Health Services and Systems Research Programme at Duke-NUS, who led the study. "These factors could be used to identify populations at high risk of psychological distress so they can be offered targeted remote and in-person interventions," added Duke-NUS. Prof Jafar and her team performed a meta-analysis of 68 studies conducted during the pandemic, encompassing 288,830 participants from 19 countries, to assess risk factors associated with anxiety and depression among the general population. They found that, among the people most affected by COVID-19-related anxiety or depression, women, younger adults, individuals of lower socioeconomic status, those living in rural areas, and those at high risk of COVID-19 infection were more likely to experience psychological distress. The finding that women were more likely to experience psychological distress than men is consistent with other global studies that have shown that anxiety and depression are more common in women. "The lower social status of women and less preferential access to healthcare compared to men could potentially be responsible for the exaggerated adverse psychosocial impact on women," the researchers suggested. "Thus, outreach programmes for mental health services must target women proactively." Younger adults aged 35 and under, were more likely to experience psychological distress than those over the age of 35. Although the reasons for this are unclear, previous studies have suggested that it might be due to younger people's greater access to COVID-19 information through the media. This current study also confirmed that longer media exposure was associated with higher odds of anxiety and depression. Other factors associated with psychological distress included living in rural areas; lower education, lower-income, or unemployment; and being at high risk of COVID-19 infection. However, having stronger family and social support and using positive coping strategies were shown to reduce the risk of psychological distress. "The general public and healthcare professionals need to be aware of the high burden of psychological distress during the pandemic as well as education on coping strategies," Prof Jafar said. "Patients need to be encouraged to seek help, and access mental health counselling services with appropriate referrals." Professor Patrick Casey, Senior Vice-Dean for Research at Duke-NUS, commented, "Even with the tremendous advances on the vaccine front, the world has come to realise that the COVID-19 pandemic will be with us for the long haul. Professor Jafar's study contributes valuable insights on the pandemic's psychological toll on populations around the world and highlights specific groups who may benefit from additional support, whether that is from their family or a healthcare provider."

New Delhi: To prevent water pollution, immersion of Durga Puja idols in the national capital's water bodies, including river Yamuna, has been prohibited by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC). 'Consequent pollution of such water bodies has been a matter of concern. In addition to silting, toxic chemicals used in making idols tend to leach out and pose serious problems of water pollution. Studies carried out to assess deterioration in water quality due to idol immersion revealed the deterioration of water quality in respect to conductivity, biochemical oxygen demand and heavy metal concentration,' an order issued by the DPCC said. 'Instead, the idol immersion ritual may be performed within the home premises in a bucket and container.' The DPCC has also ruled that idols be made only from natural materials 'as described in holy scripts'. 'Use of baked clay, Plaster of Paris (POP), in idol making are prohibited. Only non-toxic and water-soluble dyes have been advised to colour the idols.' Worship material like flowers, decorating material (made of paper), be removed before the immersion of idols and has been suggested to be collected for disposal in an environmentally safe manner or handed over to the door to door waste collection vehicle. Bhaba Tosh Pal, who has been a member of the Durga Puja Committee of Mayur Vihar region for the past 15 years, sais that they will immerse the idols in a tanker with the help of a crane. 'It's more like dipping the idol and then taking it out,' he said. Idol immersion will take place Saturday.

Goa, India: Venture studio Prototyze has announced the launch of Report Yak (www.reportyak.com), a specialised communication-design company focused on creating corporate reports. The corporate reporting function of businesses globally, is growing in compliance-related complexity. Additional frameworks and standards of disclosure are constantly being mandated by regulators around the world. And the quality and comprehensibility of such reports is viewed as an index to the quality of corporate governance of the business itself.Companies are therefore increasingly engaging communication-design agencies to expertly represent their narratives. The best Annual Reports from a few ago versus today are remarkably different. Much more visual and understandable to the average investor and professional analyst alike. Companies are also choosing to limit the distribution of physical copies and hence increasingly relying on digital interactive microsites accessible on mobile devices.Report Yak provides designing, advisory and content-writing services for annual reports, sustainability and ESG reports and integrated reports in both print and digital formats.Report Yak inherits the legacy of sister company Synapse-also a Prototyze venture-whose two decades of work includes reports designed for industry-leading firms like TCS, Zee Entertainment, Pfizer, ICICI Bank, Vedanta, Mahindra & Mahindra, Marico and Birlasoft among others.Report Yak is driven by a team of skilled individuals with deep expertise in this emerging field and key functional leaders have spent years in this business. Says Karuna Narayanan, Head of Content who's a GRI-certified professional with prior experience at a corporate reporting company from a different era, "Report Yak is a welcome change for clients, because the world of corporate reporting is transforming. The audience for these reports demands more clarity, transparency and non-financial disclosures. So, the old ways of creating annual reports doesn't work as well anymore."Vinay Tanna, a certified Integrated Reporting Practitioner and Report Yak's Head of Client Relations said, "Even seasoned investor relations professionals find keeping abreast the evolving compliance and regulatory landscape daunting. Add to that the expectation of producing a visually appealing report in a short deadline after the AGM. That's exactly the problem we love solving."In the words of Tanmay Modi, CEO, "The Yak is legendary for helping mountaineers scale the highest summit reliably, efficiently and without fuss every single time. That's how we would like clients to think of us.

Follow us on Image Source : PTI What is Nipah Virus? Symptoms, treatment and everything else you need to know Along with the surge in COVID-19 cases, Kerala is currently batting with another virus i.e Nipah virus after a 12-year-old boy died on Sunday in the district of Kozhikode in a private hospital.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. Since then, several cases of the infection have been surfacing in the state. The first Nipah virus disease outbreak in South India was reported from Kozhikode district in Kerala on May 19, 2018. There have been 17 deaths and 18 confirmed cases as of June 1, 2018. The outbreak was contained and declared over by June 10, 2018. Thereafter, in June 2019, a new case of Nipah was reported from Kochi and the sole patient was a 23-year-old student, who later recovered. With this year's reporting of a case, it is the fifth time the virus has been detected in India and the third in Kerala. Here's everything you need to know about the Nipah virus. What is Nipah virus? The Nipah virus is a zoonotic infection that transmits between species, from animals to humans or vice versa. It can also be transmitted through contaminated food or directly between people. The virus was isolated and identified in 1999 and is named after a village in Malaysia, Sungai Nipah. Signs and symptoms In humans, Nipah virus has various infections ranging from asymptomatic infection to acute respiratory infection (mild, severe), and fatal encephalitis. Initial symptoms include fever, headaches, myalgia (muscle pain), vomiting and sore throat. This can be followed by dizziness, drowsiness, altered consciousness, and neurological signs that indicate acute encephalitis. Some people can also experience severe respiratory problems. According to the guidelines of the WHO, the patients infected with the virus can experience pneumonia and severe cases might see encephalitis and seizures which may lead to come within 24 to 48 hours. The incubation period for this virus can range between 5-14 days and go on up to 45 days. Incubation period As per WHO, the incubation period (interval from infection to the onset of symptoms) is believed to range from 4 to 14 days. However, an incubation period as long as 45 days has been reported. Diagnosis Nipah virus infection can be diagnosed with clinical history during the acute and convalescent phases of the disease. The main tests used are real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from bodily fluids and antibody detection via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Other tests used include polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, and virus isolation by cell culture. Prevention Avoid consuming raw date palm sap or toddy Handling of dead bodies of those who suffered from the virus needs to be done according to the guidelines. Consume fruits after washing them properly Wash your hands regularly with soap and water Wear clinical gloves and other protective clothing while handling sick animals Treatment There are currently no drugs or vaccines specific for Nipah virus infection. -with WHO inputs ### Response: | What is Nipah Virus?

It should have at least three EVs in its SUV lineup in the next five years Mahindra is gearing up to enter the Indian EV space, starting in early 2023, with the XUV400. It is also working on new dedicated electric models that will be debuted as concepts on August 15, with the first one scheduled to be market ready in 2025. While it aims to become a leading EV brand at some point, Mahindra's lineup will continue to be dominated by combustion engine models in the near future. Mahindra's Electric Car Plans Up To 2026 The brand recently announced its new investment partner for its upcoming four-wheeler EV sub division. In it, the Executive Director Auto and Farm at Mahindra & Mahindra, Rajesh Jejurikar, stated, "We would expect between 20% to 30% of Mahindra SUVs to become electric by 2027." How many EVs will Mahindra offer to meet that vision? The current Mahindra lineup comprises approximately 10 SUVs as of 2022. The XUV400 will be a new electric model but it is a derivative of the XUV300 subcompact SUV, which is offered with petrol and diesel engines. The XUV700 is the only other model in its lineup that is said to be EV-ready and is also expected to arrive by 2027. Additionally, Mahindra will launch at least one, if not two, new dedicated EV during the same period. The final tally of SUVs is expected to be around 12, of which three would be EVs. That proportion of EVs and ICE-models would align with Jejurikar's statement. Mild electrification of Mahindra SUVs In the meantime, Mahindra is also expected to introduce degrees of electrification to its petrol and diesel powertrains. It will likely add mild-hybrid technology across the lineup, even to the likes of the Bolero and Thar. This would be particularly important in helping the SUV-centric brand keep up with the ever tightening emission norms in the future. ### Response: | 20 To 30 Percent Mahindra SUVs Are Expected To Be Electric By 2027: Executive Director, Mahindra | 90,680 |

NEW YORK: The U.S. women's national team (USWNT) on Friday filed an opening brief in the appeal of their lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF), saying the decision to dismiss it was based on flawed legal reasoning. The brief, filed with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, asked that the ruling be reversed and the case sent back to district court to be heard by a jury. The World Cup-winning team sued its governing body in 2019 seeking $66 million in damages under the Equal Pay Act, alleging gender discrimination in compensation and nearly every other aspect of playing conditions. U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner in Los Angeles last year threw out the players' claims that they were underpaid compared with the men's national team and weeks later denied the players' bid to appeal until the working conditions element was settled. "If a woman has to work more than a man and be much more successful than him to earn about the same pay, that is decidedly not equal pay and it violates the law," Molly Levinson, a spokesperson for the USWNT, said in a statement. "And yet, that is exactly what the women players on the U.S. national team do. They play more games and achieve better results in order to be paid about the same amount as the men's national team players per game. "By any measure, that is not equal pay, and it violates federal law... we are confident the facts show intentional - and ongoing - gender discrimination by the U.S. Soccer Federation." The federation issued a statement in response saying they are "committed to equal pay", adding that they are continuing to find resolution with the players outside of the court system.

Mumbai: Rebel Maharashtra Minister and Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde today lashed out at the party for "supporting" people linked to the Mumbai bomb blast and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. Taking to Twitter on Sunday evening the state minister insisted that "it was better to die" than follow such a decision. "How can Balasaheb Thackeray's Shiv Sena support people who had direct connection with culprits of Mumbai bomb blast, Dawood Ibrahim & those responsible for taking lives of innocent people of Mumbai. That's why we took such step, it's better to die," Shinde tweeted in Marathi. In another post he said that the rebel MLAs would consider it their destiny even if they "had to die to follow the ideology of Hindutva". The remarks appear to be a rejoinder to earlier comments made by Sena MP Sanjay Raut. "40 MLAs in Guwahati are living corpses, their souls are dead. Their bodies will be sent directly to the Assembly for post-mortem when they come back. They know what can happen in the fire that has been lit here," Raut had said earlier today. Taking a swipe at the rebel leaders on Sunday, the Rajya Sabha MP also said the group should not use Shiv Sena's name to exhort voters for votes. Earlier today, Shinde had moved the Supreme Court against the disqualification notice issued by the deputy speaker to him and 15 other rebel legislators. Dubbing the action "illegal and unconstitutional", he had sought a stay on it and called for the dismissal of Deputy Speaker. "The illegal and unconstitutional action of the Deputy Speaker insofar as recognising Ajay Choudhury as the leader of the Shiv Sena Legislature Party (SSLP) despite the said request being admittedly made by a minority faction of the SSLP. Further, the said Respondent No. 1 (Deputy Speaker), even after belonging to the minority faction of the SSLP, has also filed a Petition under Rule 6 of MLA Defection Rules seeking disqualification of the Petitioner under Para-2(1)(a) of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution of India for which the Petitioner received a notice dated June 2, 2022," the plea said. ### Response: | 'Bal Thackeray's Sena supporting those linked to Mumbai bomb blast, Dawood': Eknath Shinde | 1,334,179 |

By Express News Service CUTTACK: There seems to be no respite from the growing menace of brokers here who still continue to divert patients from SCB Medical College and Hospital to different private hospitals. Shockingly, these brokers are no outsiders but attendants engaged by the hospital authorities from an outsourcing agency. On Monday, five attendants of SCB MCH were arrested by Mangalabag police while trying to divert patients from the premier government-run hospital. The five accused are Bijay Das (50) of Nahalpur, Dipti Ranjan Nayak (35) of Nuabazar, Laxmidhar Naik (42) of Hatoda, Sachidanand Sahoo (48) of Masinghpatna and Ramani Ranjan Mohapatra (41) of Anandapur.Reportedly, all the five attendants were engaged by an outsourcing agency called Manju Services to assist patients at the Radiology Department of SCB MCH. "Acting on a tip off that outsourcing staffs are taking money from patients who are coming from remote areas and diverting them to different hospital and clinics for testing and treatment and collecting huge money from them by cheating in the name of good service. SI Debabrata Mohanty, acting as a patient went to consult a doctor at the medicine ward complaining of abdomen pain and was referred to the Radiology Department for ultrasound. But the doctors there gave him a later date for the ultrasound," DCP Pinak Mishra said. After some time, the five accused came up to SI Mohanty and identified themselves as staff of SCB MCH, while demanding Rs 200 for early conduct of the ultrasound, if not possible they will perform the test at a private centre at low cost. They were immediately arrested and were forwarded to the court on Tuesday, the DCP informed. More than 15 staff of the hospital engaged through the outsourcing agency have been arrested so far for diverting patients in the last one year. Even a security guard was also arrested for stealing a motorcycle from the hospital campus. Despite several attempts, the SCB MCH Superintendent Lucy Das could not be reached for a comment. ### Response: | Brokers' strike again at SCB MCH, five arrested | 988,139 |

Srinagar | Authorities on Thursday imposed restrictions in Abi Guzar area of the city to prevent members of the Shia community from taking out any procession to mark Ashoora, the last day of the 10-day Muhurram mourning period, officials said. Restrictions have been imposed in Abi Guzar area falling under police station Kothibagh while security personnel have been deployed in strength to maintain law and order on the 10th of Muharram, the officials said. Police had detainee several members of the Shia community at various places in the city on Tuesday as they had tried to take out processions. The traditional Muharram procession, to mark the eighth day of the 10-day Muharram mourning period, used to pass through the areas of Abi Guzar, Lal Chowk and Dalgate areas, but has been banned since the eruption of militancy in 1990 as authorities maintain that the gathering has been used for propagating separatist politics. Muharram processions are expected in other parts of the valley including the old city. ### Response: | Restrictions imposed in Srinagar locality to thwart Muharram processions | 1,679,531 |

At the same time, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) deployed its armed men in the security of the jathedar, who this week asked Sikhs to keep a licensed weapon in view of the "uncertain times". In an order, the government withdrew or curtailed the security of 424 VIPs in the state. They largely include former legislators, heads of various "deras" and police officers. The head of Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of the Sikhs, is among them. Looking at the sensitivity of the case, the government later restored his security but he declined. Giani Harpreet Singh had a security cover of six police personnel. Three were withdrawn after the order. Responding to the withdrawal of security, the jathedar said: "I don't need the security. "Khalsa Panth and the Sikh youths are there for our security." "After the controversy, the Punjab government restored the security of the Akal Takht jathedar. However, the jathedar is adamant on his decision and refused to take the government security," an official with the SGPC said. He said on the direction of SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami, four SGPC employees were deployed to guard Giani Harpreet Singh. The security of Giani Raghbir Singh, Jathedar of Takht Kesgarh Sahib in Anandpur Sahib; Sant Niranjan Dass, chief of Dera Sachkhand Ballan in Jalandhar; Satguru Udhay Singh Namdhari, Bhaini Sahib, Ludhiana; Giani Jagtar Singh, head granthi at Golden Temple in Amritsar; Baba Lakha Singh, Gurdwara Nanaksar Kaleran Wale, Jagraon; and Sant Tarminder Singh, dera chief of Kahna Dhesian in Goraya in Jalandhar, has also been withdrawn. The security of those that have been curtailed include heads of Dera Radha Soami Satsang in Beas; Dera Divya Jyoti Jagriti Sansthan in Noormahal, and Shahi Imam Punjab, Mohammad Usman Ludhianvi. In a video message to the Sikh community on May 23, the Akal Takht jathedar had said: "Every Sikh should try to keep licensed weapons, because the time that is coming, and the circumstances which are going to prevail, demand it. The Sikh youth should be skilful in gatka (Sikh martial art) and shooting." ### Response: | Akal Takht Jathedar declines govt security, SGPC deploys men2 min read | 1,032,156 |

Who can in today's time escape the incessant barrage of noise that seems to enter our lives from everywhere, every pore, every screen and every conversation in the world, which masks itself as news? We live in a world where it is now impossible to escape having something sold to us. When you and I open our televisions or pull up this article to read the news or a review of a show, we aren't looking to advertise products but one can't escape it. It's everywhere. When we go on google to search for a pasta recipe or whether gorillas can speak to humans, we aren't looking to buy even there. On Instagram, when we connect with friends and like their pictures and compare ourselves to others for no good reason, we don't want to go shopping even then, but ad after ad, it's all there.The news media has garnered an ugly and dirty reputation worldwide, where different news channels pledge allegiance to different ideologies and companies and sell agendas, either by being bought to do so or forced to do so in countries where dictatorships are prevalent so what then, is freedom of the press? The integrity of the press? Business of the press? The Broken Newsexplores these questions.This show explores how ruthless media houses are out and out waging a war of popularity and TRPs with one another, to remain in favour and the limelight of the public, making sure their funds don't dry up, much like any other competing business and even political parties. Remember folks, if you get access to anything, any story on tv or any post online, and you got it for free? Then, you are the product.Capitalism is one of the few systems in the world that, broken or not, actually seems to work for the most part (when balanced with a healthy social welfare state of course).Capital freedom and industrial freedom are one of the most necessary things for a race of people to feel motivated and to keep them moving and going and for anyone harbouring daydreams about a state where we all live in government homes and share all our meagre wages and live in a commune is surely out of touch with reality.Money does make the world go round and governments, when given absolute power, are absolutely corrupt and those who scream from the rooftops about putting power back in the hands of the people? Yeah, that's only till they're voted into power. After that, they're no longer the people and you no longer matter.The Gone Game 2 Review: A Thriller that Undertakes A Wild-Goose ChaseJaideep Ahlawat plays a workaholic small-town boy who has grown into the man of men, a bold and defiant businessman in his own right, a reporter who knows how to tell a story and how to make the news breaking. He is suave, he is unstoppable and he is in direct competition with his business rival's channel. Sonali Bendre, his editor in rivalry and chief of the other camp, is equally capable and experienced but her arm is being bent behind her back. Between her journalistic integrity and the advertising money, where will she go and what can she do? Wading the dirty murky male-dominated waters, we see her being backed up against the wall and fighting back.These two though, have more in common than they realise and so the professional rivalry remains exciting and believable - two rival news channels, fighting for the top story and fighting for the top reporters - poaching, using, manipulating and betrayal. All is fair in love and media wars, I suppose.Shriya Pilgaonkar plays a young reporter whose focus remains on her professional life. She is feisty, edgy and difficult in all the right urban ways and works for Bendre. She is increasingly frustrated with working under Bendre, who is unable to support her idealism like she wishes she could. What will Shriya do? Stick with her team? Go to the rivals? Go her separate way? With this, she struggles all the while investigating the death of her colleague and flatmate who she believes was murdered. This creates a recipe for disaster again and again between the three of them. Along with these three and the stories they fight over, there's a whole cast of other employees, friends, flatmates and more.The stories they cover are, albeit, a little done but some were spot on in predicting the future. Through the stories covered by Jaideep and Sonali in their respective channels, we also see a commentary on society. Stories about lead actors molesting women on crews, about businessmen doing dirty shady deals with terrorists and foreign influences and about politicians trying to buy and sell MLAS (given the timing of the release of this show and the name of the character accused of doing the same and what's happening in Maharashtra, it almost seems too insane to not have been coordinated. Talk about art imitating life and vice versa?).The show is gripping and written at breakneck speed. There's no moment of respite and it is binge-worthy. For most people, this will be one of those things they can't stop watching.Yes, there are unnecessary voiceovers and flashbacks in places. There are also stories which seem like we have seen in other shows before, like Guilty Minds, but everything comes together with just the right amount of glamour and dirt, a combination audiences can't get enough of (me included). There is so much going on, first within the business rivalry between the two media channels and then with the film industry and businesses in India, that it is difficult to keep up with and that is why one should watch this show. The Broken News is a mirror held up to society in the hands of two rival media channels and the stories they fight over and the people who they in the process use, discard and fight with. So no warnings here, don't beware with this one, go into it with open arms because while heavy and a little preachy and on the nose with its messaging, wielding around its moral high ground, it is an important show to watch and more importantly, its a nail-biting edge of the seat experience. For all those who want to seek the truth, this might be a good place to start.

GANGTOK: In April, Sikkim was buzzing with the Multi Commodity Exchange scam, considered the biggest scam in Sikkim's history amounting to billions of dollars. Finally, it seems the Enforcement Directorate has acted on the case with eight (8) locations in Sikkim, Kolkata, Delhi, and Mumbai searched in connection to the fraudulent case. The Enforcement Directorate tweeted on Wednesday, "ED has conducted searches at 8 locations in Sikkim, Kolkata, Delhi and Mumbai in Sikkim MCX fraud case. A total amount of Rs. 4.65 crore was frozen from the bank accounts of brokers that corresponded to the undue gain availed by such brokers by illegally availing Stamp Duty Exemption."
In the July 13 press release from the Enforcement Directorate, the ED quoted, "the locations where the search was conducted include the various premises of Limited Liability Partners (LLP) in Sikkim which were controlled by brokers trade in MCX and NSE in Kolkata and Delhi. Premises of various stockbrokers in Delhi and Mumbai, where many fake Sikkim-based traders were registered were also searched. Incriminating evidence relating to such traders were also recovered." The issue of MCX fraud found ground in April this year when a few national newspapers reported the unprecedented MCX transactions being done either in Sikkim or by traders from Sikkim. The reports were suggestive of over $6 billion in transactions to have taken place in February 2022. The reports stated that the number of traders from the state, based on unique client code, has increased to 2217 compared to 674 in February 2020. The ED appears to have initiated a money laundering investigation upon the FIR dating to May 17, 2022, filed by Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Raju Giri, a Gangtok resident. It was registered by Sikkim Vigilance Police Station against unknown persons or companies. The FIR alleged that disproportionate data in MCX trading from Sikkim is highly doubtful and some LLP companies and private individuals or traders from other States in India are doing high-frequency MCX trading either using the identity of Sikkim residents or using co-location of Sikkim illegitimately for taking undue advantage of the Income Tax and Stamp Duty exemption given to people of Sikkim. Even Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Golay has addressed the issue multiple times along with other political parties. The Chief Minister had earlier stated, "The State government has immediately directed Vigilance Police to investigate the suspicious increase in the number and market share of Sikkim-based traders in MCX. The ED claimed further investigation is in progress.

The east division of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) — which has cleared unauthorised optical fibre cables (OFC) running into several kilometers — does not know what to do with it. With the scrap dealers refusing to take it, the officials have dumped it next to its own building near Queen's Road. These telecom wires were removed a month ago as a part of a drive to clear cables that were disrupting pedestrian movement. 'These cables do not even have scrap value. We are thinking of sending it to the dry waste collection centre,' a BBMP official said. Of late, the BBMP has, however, stopped the drive against the removal of unauthorised cables despite complaints from citizens on wires being tied around trees or lying all over the footpath. The civic body started going soft on the OFC service providers after the centre amended the Indian Telegraph Right of Way (RoW) Rules allowing overhead OFC lines with a lifetime licence fee of Rs 1,000 per kilometre. 'We have complained about OFC wires choking the trees or posing a hurdle to pedestrians. The OFC service providers have been doing this because they are confident that the BBMP will not take action. It is not rocket science to provide overhead cables without making it an eyesore,' a resident of New Thippasandra said. This year, the BBMP has estimated to collect Rs 215 crore as service fee from OFC service providers, up from Rs 120 crore it earned in the last financial year. ### Response: | Palike caught in cord mess as OFCs choke public space | 474,916 |

The jeweller will then visit the BIS Assaying & Hallmarking centre and get it hallmarked. It is important to note that only BIS-registered jewellers can approach the Assaying & Hallmarking Centre. The report will not only help the consumer know about the purity of the gold jewellery but will also come in handy if he or she wishes to sell the jewellery.Alternatively, a consumer can ask a jeweller to get the old jewellery melted and make new jewellery.

Upcoming Bajaj Pulsar 250cc - Naked NS250 and Semifaired 250F Based on what Bajaj MD, Rajiv Bajaj had recently said in an interview, Pulsar 250 could debut around Diwali.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. Rajiv had said "biggest Pulsar we have ever made", which most probably indicates towards Pulsar 250. It is not yet certain if all Pulsar 250cc models will be revealed simultaneously. New Pulsar 250cc models have been spotted on road tests on multiple occasions. Latest snaps are that of the naked and semi-faired variant, which can be assumed to be called as NS250 and 250F respectively. These were spotted by Bunny Punia. Just like earlier sightings, these new test mules can be seen wearing heavy camouflage. Still, some design and features are clearly evident. At the front, the bike gets projector headlamp, sleek dual LED DRLs, and a standard looking front fender. Overall, the front fascia has an aggressive look and feel. Take a look at the detailed video of the upcoming Pulsar 250cc motorcycles, testing on highway at speeds of over 120 kmph. The video is shot from inside of a car, which is also travelling along side the Pulsar 250cc motorcycles. At one point in the video, the camera shows the speedometer of the car, which is doing over 120 kmph. It is at this moment the Pulsar 250 test rider manages to accelerate away. Bajaj Pulsar 250cc top speed is not yet known, but the video shows that the Pulsar 250cc has enough grunt to perform overtaking manoeuvre at over 120 kmph speed. Talking about the side profile, some key features include a large, sculpted fuel tank with extensions, engine cowl, crash guard, stubby exhaust in metallic finish, exposed frame bits, slanted top frame, and split seats. At the rear, the bike has a short tail and dual tyre huggers. Bajaj Pulsar 250cc manages to accelerate away from a car which was already doing over 120 kmph. It is expected that Pulsar 250cc models will be based on an entirely new platform. This new platform will eventually be used to upgrade existing Pulsar motorcycles as well. Talking about the engine, this too can be an entirely new 250cc unit. It could be capable of generating 24 bhp of max power and 20 Nm of peak torque. There's a strong possibility of a new engine, as it would work as a major differentiator against the existing 250cc products manufactured by Bajaj such as Dominar 250, KTM 250 Duke and Husqvarna twins. These motorcycles use a 248.77cc, liquid cooled motor that makes 27 bhp at 8,500 rpm and 23.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The engine used for Pulsar 250cc models is expected to be equipped with variable valve actuation (VVT). New Bajaj Pulsar 250cc motorcycles Pulsar NS250 gets standard telescopic front forks and swingarm-linked monoshock unit at the rear. The bike has disc brakes at both ends. Dual-channel ABS is expected to be offered as standard. Till date, most Pulsar models have emerged as popular choices in their respective class. Bajaj will be aiming to achieve something similar with Pulsar 250cc models. Being the flagship, Pulsar 250 is expected to get a range of features such as ride modes and connected tech. It will also be made available at a competitive price point. Upon launch, Pulsar 250cc models will take on respective offerings from Suzuki and Yamaha. In case of Pulsar NS250, the bike will rival the likes of Yamaha FZ25 and Suzuki Gixxer 250. It will also go up against KTM Duke 250 and sibling Dominar 250. ### Response: | Upcoming Bajaj Pulsar 250cc Spied Testing At Over 120 Kmph | 1,747,221 |

Kopeshwar literally translates to 'the wrathful god' or 'the angry god'. There are also 108 pillars carved on the premises of the temple. History | There are different views on when this temple was exactly built. Sources point to it being first built in the 7th CE & was probably built by Badami Chalukyas. Other sources place it in 9th CE during the Kalyani Chalukyas time. While yet other sources put it to 12th CE built by Shilahar Kings, who were earlier the vessels of Chalukyan kings. Architecture | The entire Kopeshwar Temple is divided into 4 parts - Swargamandapa, Sabhamandapa, Antaral kaksha and the Garbha griha. The Garbha Griha has 2 Lingas - one that represents the Shiva as Kopeshwar. The second one represents Vishnu as Dhopeshwar - as pacifier of Shiva. Since this temple celebrates that moment, both Shiva and Vishnu are present in Linga form here.But the Swargamandapa is the first part of the temple that you see once you step in. It is detached from the main temple having a small margin. The circular structure of it is supported on 48 pillars, each of which is beautifully carved. Seen from the outside, you can see the impression of an inverted lotus on the roof.

Unfortunately, most have their trunks broken by the invaders. Legend | According to the legend, Shiva Sati are not i& nvited to the Yagya performed by Sati's father. Sati's father does not approve of the fact that she married Shiva. Upon hearing about the Yagya, Sati takes Nandi and goes to confront her father about the same. Upon seeing her, Sati's father insults her & Shiva in front of everyone. Sati, enraged and hurt, jumps into the Yagya fire and dies. Upon hearing of this, Lord Shiva is enraged. This explains his name Kopeshwar, the god with wrath. He kills Sati's father and proceeds to destroy everything. ### Response: | Kopeshwar Temple, the architectural wonder of Khidrapur | 642,046 |

In 2019, TMC MP Derek O'Brien had also brought in a food analogy to describe the government's rushed manner in passing bills. That time he had asked, "Are we delivering pizzas...?" Trinamool MP Derek O'Brien's culinary jibe at the government's hurried passage of bills has provoked the Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi to also fish out a rebuttal related to food. Media reports said Naqvi, who is also Deputy Leader of the Rajya Sabha, hit out at O'Brien for criticising the government for rushing bills through Parliament 'under seven minutes per bill' which seemed akin to 'making papri chaat'. Naqvi retorted, he "can have fish curry, if he's allergic to papri chaat. But don't turn Parliament into a fish market", reported NTDV. He lambasted O'Brien for colluding with others to "malign Parliament's dignity". "Unfortunately, the manner in which work is being done with conspiracy to malign Parliament's dignity, has never been seen before," he said, added the NDTV report quoting news agency ANI on August 4. Advertisement Persistent logjam in Parliament an insult, says PM as stalemate continues On August 2, Derek O'Brien had posted a sarcastic tweet on the rushed manner in which the government was passing bills through Parliament. He pointed out that in the first 10 days, Modi-Shah combine had rushed through and passed 12 bills at an average time of "UNDER SEVEN MINUTES" per bill. He also carried a chart on the minutes taken so far to pass the different bills in the Parliament. He ended his tweet with a tongue-in-cheek dig: Passing legislation or making papri chaat? O'Brien had earlier in 2019 also brought in a food analogy to describe the government's rushed manner in passing bills. That time he had asked, "Are we delivering pizzas.?" The monsoon session of the Parliament has turned into a flop session, as the deadlock between the Opposition parties and the government continues without either side ready to back down. No business is being conducted at all as the Opposition is demanding a Supreme Court-monitored probe into the Pegasus scandal, and a discussion in Parliament with both the Prime Minister and Home Minister Amit Shah present. On its part, the government's obdurate stand is that surveillance of the alleged kind suggested by the Opposition parties is impossible given existing checks and balances in India's legal framework. They pointed out that the IT Minister Ashwin Vaishnaw has also made a statement on the matter in Parliament and the entire issue is closed. Also read: Parliament offensive: Rahul calls Oppn meet, leads 'cycle protest' The Opposition parties led by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi however are unrelenting and sticking to their stand for a discussion on the Pegasus scandal. The parties that are on the Congress side include Trinamool, the Shiv Sena, the NCP and the DMK and they all met at a breakfast meeting to work out a strategy for the rest of the monsoon session. The Congress blames the government for the stalemate in the Parliament. In turn, Prime Minister Modi has pointed a finger at the Congress for being responsible for not willing to iron out the issues and let the Parliament function. In fact, he made a reference to the derogatory comments made by a senior MP regarding the passage of bills - the papri chaat. ### Response: | 'Don't turn Parliament into fish market': Minister slams O'Brien for culinary dig | 1,528,017 |

New Delhi: The RBI's policy decision would be the major event driving trading sentiment in the equity market this week, while global cues, foreign funds movement and crude oil prices will be the other key factors to watch out for, analysts said. Markets have been witnessing a rebound recently. However, the move lacks decisiveness amid lingering challenges like global policy tightening due to soaring inflation and geopolitical tensions, they added. 'RBI policy, global macro numbers and crude oil prices will set the trend for this week. Outcome of RBI policy will be announced on 8th of June and it will be important to listen to RBI commentary as a rate hike is imminent. IIP data will be released on 10th June after market hours. 'On the global front, US jobless claim on Thursday and CPI numbers on Friday will be important for the direction of global markets,' said Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd. Crude oil is continuing its northward journey and if it does not cool off, then it may hurt sentiment of markets. FIIs are still in selling mode, though the momentum has slowed down a bit. However, there is a risk of further selling if the rupee weakens due to a rally in crude oil prices, he added. Last week, the BSE Sensex advanced 884.57 points or 1.61 per cent. 'With earnings season behind us, focus would be on the upcoming MPC's monetary policy review meet, which is scheduled during June 6-8. Markets have already priced in another hike citing sticky inflation. However, focus would be on commentary amid updates of a favourable monsoon. 'Besides, performance of global markets and movement in crude will also be in focus. On the macroeconomic front, participants will be eyeing IIP data on June 10,' said Ajit Mishra, VP - Research, Religare Broking Ltd. Yesha Shah, Head of Equity Research, Samco Securities, said inflation being a key factor will be the central point of all discussions this week as China and US inflation data will be released, apart from RBI's policy meeting. 'Markets are likely to remain in a broader range as we continue to monitor global cues, including geopolitical developments, crude oil price movement as well as institutional flows.

Mumbai: Former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Monday skipped the summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for the fourth time and replied to the summons in connection with a money laundering case probe and said that he is shocked.

The court had said it would hear Deshmukh's petition on August 3. Deshmukh mentioned that in the writ petition, he vehemently urged that 'the very commencement and continuation of the investigations by the ED are not only actuated with malice both in law as well as fact, but also the same stand vitiated on account of grave violation of the procedure established by law'. On July 18, ED officials had carried out searches at Deshmukh's house in Katol town near Nagpur and his ancestral home at Wadvihira village near Katol. The next day, Deshmukh had issued a video statement and had informed that once the outcome of his petition in the apex court comes, he would himself visit the ED and would get his statement recorded.

The regional media claims that KCR will be floating Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi while national media says that KCR's national party is called Nava Bharat Party. As the news broke, BJP and Congress are reacting in a satirical manner. T-PCC chief Revanth Reddy commented that KCR is an expiry date medicine which invited side effects. 'Any medicine will have an expiry date and if any outdated medicine is consumed, there would be negative reactions. KCR falls in the same space. His time is over no matter and nothing yield with his national politics ambitions,' said Revanth. On KCR's tour to several cities and meeting other regional leaders in the country, Revanth added, 'I met a few leaders whom KCR met and they said they respected KCR just because he is CM of Telangana. The leaders in Delhi are seeing KCR as joker and nothing more than that.' Revanth asked KCR to contest the Atmakur by-poll in AP, if the TRS chief is really serious about national politics. 'The by-election in Atmakur will be a reality check of KCR's national ambitions and that would sum it up,' stated Revanth. Irrespective of opposition leaders remarks, KCR is working on his Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi/Nava Bharat Party and on 19th of June, he will be holding a meeting TRS leaders to take their opinion on party name. ### Response: | KCR Is An Expiry Date Medicine: Revanth Reddy | 1,178,451 |

Tumakuru, (Karnataka) Aug 30 A massive protest broke out on Monday in Tumakuru demanding justice for a 34-year-old married woman who was raped and murdered in Kyatsandra Police station limits on August 24. The protesters alleged that the ruling BJP government, which showed interest to detect and arrest the accused persons in Mysuru gang-rape case, is turning a blind eye to this case. Jayalakshmi (34), who went to graze cattle at a hillock near Chotasaabarapalya in Hirehalli, was found murdered. The preliminary investigation suggested that she was raped. Her family members and the villagers alleged that she was gang-raped and murdered by a gang of youth who frequented the hillock. The incident took place on August 24, but did not get attention as the rape was confirmed later. However, even after the rape was confirmed, the police are yet to nab the accused persons or make any headway in the case. The Kyatasandra police investigating the case said that 25 police officers have been deputed to probe the matter. "We are not getting even a small clue in the case.," the police said. Thousands of people from the Agnivamsha Kshatriya community in Tumakuru and took out a procession to the district commissioner's office. The protesters demanded that the police should arrest the accused before September 5. "The government should take this case seriously, just like they dealt with the Mysuru gang-rape case," the protesters said. Tumakurun Rural MLA Gowrishankar said that the state government has not taken the rape and murder case of Jayalakshmi seriously. "A married woman who went to graze cattle has been raped and murdered. But Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai or Home Minister Araga Jananedra have not bothered to react to the incident," he said.

Hate speeches based on religion, caste, region or ethnicity by elected representatives, and political and religious leaders violate fundamental rights and harm India's constitutional ethos, the Delhi high court said on Monday, asking for stringent and peremptory action against such utterances.Statutory provisions and penal law provide sufficient remedy to curb the menace of hate speeches, and the executive as well as civil society have to perform their roles in enforcing the already existing legal regime, justice Chandra Dhari Singh said.Justice Singh made these observations while dismissing a plea by Communist Party of India (Marxist) leaders Brinda Karat and KM Tiwari that challenged a trial court's refusal to direct the registration of a first information report against Union minister Anurag Thakur and Bharatiya Janata Party parliamentarian Pravesh Verma for their alleged hate speeches concerning the protest against the new citizenship law at Delhi's Shaheen Bagh in 2020."Effective regulation of hate speeches at all levels is required and all the law enforcing agencies must ensure that the existing law is not rendered a dead letter," the court said. "Enforcement of the provisions is required being in consonance with the proposition salus reipublicae suprema lex (safety of the state is the supreme law)."Whatever action is performed by a leader, common men follow in his footsteps, and whatever standards he sets by his acts are pursued by his subjects, the judge said, quoting the Hindu holy text of Bhagvad Gita."Leaders elected in a democracy like that of India owe their responsibility not only towards the electorate in their own constituency, but also towards the society and nation as a whole, and ultimately to the Constitution," he said.Despite these observations, the court declined relief to the petitioners, saying appropriate sanction of government is required for investigation. There is alternative and efficacious remedy available for the petitioners, he said.Hate speeches by leaders militate against the concept of fraternity, the court said. People who occupy high offices must conduct themselves with utmost integrity and responsibility, as they are the role model for ordinary citizens, justice Singh said."It is they who are the role models for the ordinary masses. Thus, it does not befit or behove the leaders to indulge in acts or speeches that cause rifts amongst communities, create tensions, and disrupt the social fabric in the society," the judge said in a 66-page order.Hate speeches incite violence and feelings of resentment against members of specific communities, causing fear and feeling of insecurity, the judge said. Such utterances marginalize individuals based on their membership in a group by using expressions that expose the group to hatred, he said.Plea for FIR rejectedIn his order on the rejection of FIR against the two senior BJP leaders, justice Singh said sanction of government is required for investigation under Section 196 of the CrPC.The judge said that the legislative intent behind the provision was crystal clear that the offences mentioned under section 196, including that of hate speech, should not be ordered to be investigated in a routine manner, since it could lead to a situation where thousands of FIRs would be registered to settle scores against political rivals."This would not only be undesirable and an abuse of process but would also result in choking the already overburdened criminal justice machinery. Thus, the legislature, being wary of such a situation, in its wisdom has incorporated this two-tier mechanism, firstly, in the form of a sanction and secondly, in the form of a preliminary investigation before granting any sanction," it observed.The trial court had, on August 26, 2021, dismissed the petitioners' plea seeking registration of FIR on the ground that it was not sustainable as the requisite sanction from the competent authority, the central government, was not obtained.Sign on to read the HT ePaper epaper.hindustantimes.com ### Response: | Hate speech harmful for India, says Delhi HC, rejects plea against BJP leaders | 1,200,265 |

New Delhi The Congress high command now seems to be taking a tough stand against the rebels. The party's disciplinary committee has sent a notice to Punjab Congress leader Sunil Jakhar. Apart from this, notice has also been given to senior leader of Kerala KV Thomas. A reply has been sought from both the leaders within a week. Notice has been issued to Sunil Jakhar for making continuous statements against party line and KV Thomas for attending CPM's seminar even after the high command's ban. Sunil Jakhar had talked about not being made the CM of Punjab because of himself being a Hindu before the election. There was a lot of discussion about his statement. Apart from this, KV Thomas was forbidden by the party high command to attend the seminar of CPM, but he decided to go there breaking the discipline. A similar ban was imposed by the party on senior leader Shashi Tharoor, but he remained tied to it. In such a situation, the Kerala unit of Congress was also constantly raising questions about KV Thomas. The Kerala unit had also complained to the high command about his attitude, after which the high command had instructed him not to participate in the seminar being organized by the CPM. Sidhu's lobbying and Bittu's pressure, what solution will Congress find in PunjabSidhu's lobbying and Bittu's pressure, what solution will Congress find in PunjabSignificantly, Sunil Jakhar has been the President of Punjab Congress. Sunil Jakhar was considered in the race for the post of Chief Minister after Captain Amarinder Singh resigned from the post of CM a few months before the elections, but the high command had bet on Charanjit Singh Channi in his place. He was also seen continuously attacking Channi. In a recent interview too, he had said about Channi that the high command should have thought about who should be kept where. Describing his statement as anti-Dalit, he was targeted. ### Response: | Congress High Command gets tough on rebels, notice to Sunil Jakhar and KV Thomas | 512,468 |

New Delhi: In round 5 of the Candidates tournament, all four games ended in a draw. This leads to no changes in the standings with Nepomniachtchi still being at the top. Fans might feel four draws would have been a boring day, but it was a day when Nepomniachtchi narrowly escaped against Nakamura and Ding failed to convert his advantage. Picture courtesy: Maria Emelianova It was a short but interesting game. Rapport chose the Sicilian defence against Fabiano and played a6 on move 5. Fabiano took his time and replied with 6.g4, which was the first interesting movement of the game. Later Rapport said, 'My so-called creativity comes from the fact that I am out of book by move six already.' Fabiano played 12.Rf1 and 15.Rd1 and by playing these moves he showed his disinterest in castling his king to safety. Fabiano gave up castling on which Anish Giri tweeted the position with a face palm. 臘♂️ pic.twitter.com/pjAu1sSPOI — Anish Giri (@anishgiri)
It proved to be a cracking game but it ended in a draw by threefold repetition on move 24. Picture courtesy: Maria Emelianova Alireza was looking to strike with white pieces but Duda chose to go solid with the Petroff. Duda is known to be well-versed in this opening. The game was equal throughout and ended in a draw on move 36 with each side having a queen and three pawns on board. Picture courtesy: Maria Emelianova It was another game in Petroff's defence. Nepomniachtchi has played this opening in the World Championship match as well, and Nakamura seemed well prepared with it. Nepo played 16.Qe4 and 17.Qg4 which gave Hikaru some advantage. Later Nepomniachtchi said that he mixed up the lines quite badly. Hikaru was low on time as compared to his opponent, also Ian is known to play brilliant defensive moves in tough positions. Soon, Nakamura lost his advantage and the game ended in a draw. Picture courtesy: Maria Emelianova It was a game in the Catalan opening and Ding seemed to be well prepared for it. Radjabov did not play the opening quite well, and his move 18.f4 gave the Chinese grandmaster an advantage to play for. After playing a fine game till move number 39, Ding gave a chance for counterplay on move 40. The game eventually ended in a draw.

The Supreme Court was hearing a petition filed by Andhra Pradesh seeking directions to prevent Telangana from drawing more water. The Chief Justice of India (CJI) NV Ramana on Monday said that if both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are willing, he will supervise a mediation process for both states to share Krishna river water. Both states had been at loggerheads over water sharing and irrigation projects being undertaken on the river. The CJI suggested both states resolve the water dispute through mediation and not waste time over litigation. The SC bench comprising the CJI and Justice Surya Kanth was hearing a writ petition filed by Andhra Pradesh accusing Telangana of depriving its people of their legitimate share of the Krishna river water for drinking and irrigation purposes. The state had sought directions from the Supreme Court to prevent Telangana from drawing more water from the river. CJI Ramana urged both states to resolve the issue amicably among themselves and not involve any third party to mediate. Speaking to Dushyant Dave, the Counsel representing Andhra Pradesh, the CJI said, "If you want adjudication of legal issues raised by Andhra Pradesh in its writ petition, I will recuse and post the petition before another bench." He added that he belonged to both the states and that he can arrange for mediation and supervise the process for a possible resolution of the Krishna water sharing dispute, reported Times of India. Dave welcomed the CJI's suggestions and said they are worth considering. He informed the court that a decision will be taken based on instructions from Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy Office. Senior advocate CA Vaidyanthan representing Telangana told the court that as such there is enough water for both the states to share but the issue arises only when there is water scarcity. The issue between the two states arose when the Telangana government decided to draw more water from the Krishna river for Hydro-Power generation. The Andhra Pradesh government alleges the Telangana government decision to be a violation of directions of the Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) set up as per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act 2014. ### Response: | CJI Ramana offers to mediate between Telangana and AP to resolve Krishna water dispute | 1,513,762 |

Indian tennis player Sumit Nagal will face Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin in the opening round of the men's singles event at the Tokyo Olympics, starting Friday. Nagal, who qualified for the Games last week after large-scale withdrawals, was pitted against the lower-ranked Uzbek in the draw on Thursday. A first-round win for the 23-year-old Indian, ranked 160, could see him face second-seeded Russia's Daniil Medvedev, who takes on Alexander Bublik in his opening round match. In women's doubles, six-time Grand Slam champion Sania Mirza and Ankita Raina will lock horns with the Kichenok twins — Nadiia and Lyudmyla — of Ukraine in the opening round. Interestingly, Mirza had paired up with Nadiia after returning from her maternity leave to win the Hobart Open last year. Meanwhile, with an eye on Golden Slam, world number on men's tennis player Novak Djokovic's quest for Serbian Olympic glory will begin with a first-round match against Hugo Dellien of Bolivia, while home hope Naomi Osaka will begin her bid for Japan's first gold medal in tennis against Zheng Saisai of China. The first-round ties were revealed exactly 48 hours before the participants hit the court for the first time at Ariake Tennis Park on Saturday, July 24, at 11:00 a.m. local time. Women's singles top seed Ashleigh Barty will make her Olympic debut for Australia against Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo, fresh off her Wimbledon victory. In the first round, Daniil Medvedev, the No. 2 seed in the men's singles draw, will face Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik. Andy Murray, the reigning men's singles Olympic champion, will begin his quest for an unprecedented third consecutive Olympic title in the same tennis event against Canadian Felix Auger Aliassime, while Petra Kvitova, the 2016 women's singles bronze medalist for the Czech Republic, will face Italian Jasmine Paolini. Both singles draws have generated a slew of fascinating first-round matchups, including a mouthwatering opener between Kei Nishikori and Andrey Rublev in the men's draw. Olympic swansong of Carla Suarez Navarro begins against Tunisia's Ons Jabeur. Mate Pavic and Nikola Mektic of Croatia will open against Marcelo Melo and Marcelo Demoliner of Brazil - a late change in partnership after Bruno Soares was diagnosed with appendicitis shortly after arriving in Tokyo - while Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova of Czech Republic will face Hsieh Yu-Chieh and Hsu Chieh-Yu of Chinese Taipei.

Amid the ongoing Russian offensive in Ukraine, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported on Thursday that at least 12 individuals have lost their lives while 34 people have been injured in nearly 43 strikes on health care facilities in Ukraine.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here.Click here to get the latest updates on Ukraine - Russia conflict While addressing United Nations Security Council (UNSC), WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in his remarks, "The war in Ukraine is having devastating consequences for the health of Ukraine's people; consequences that will reverberate for years or decades to come," as per an official statement. Tedros believes, "Attacks on health care are a violation of international humanitarian law. They deprive people of urgently-needed care and break already strained health systems." Furthermore, the WHO chief stressed that mental health, as well as psychosocial support services, are desperately required to assist individuals in coping with the repercussions of the Russia-Ukraine war. According to WHO, over 35,000 mental health patients are housed in Ukrainian psychiatric hospitals and long-term care institutions, which are facing serious shortages of medications, food, warmth, blankets, and other necessities. War in Ukraine increasing the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak in the nation As per Tedros, the war in Ukraine is increasing the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak in the nation, since testing rates have declined and just 40% of the Ukrainian population has been vaccinated. He said, "Declining rates of testing since the start of the conflict mean there is likely to be the significant undetected transmission," CNN reported. WHO chief issues warning as Asia suffers massive COVID-19 spike, calls it 'tip of iceberg' The WHO has also dispatched approximately 100 metric tonnes of medical supplies to the region, including oxygen, insulin, surgical equipment, anesthetics, as well as blood transfusion kits that would be enough for 4,500 trauma patients and 450,000 primary health care patients for nearly one month. Additional equipment, such as oxygen generators, electrical generators, and defibrillators, has already been supplied, and another 108 metric tonnes is on the way, Tedros added. WHO postpones review of Russia's Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine due to 'operational issues' UN convoy has been unable to enter war-stricken cities Despite the fact that WHO has more crucial supplies available for UN convoys seeking to enter Ukraine's regions, the Director-General stated that they have not been successful to do so. Taking the example of Sumy, a city in north-eastern Ukraine, Tedros said the UN convoy was unable to enter the city which included a WHO vehicle carrying crucial medical supplies. Loads destined for Mariupol are also stuck in conflict zones and are unable to progress. "Access to these, and other areas, is now critical," the WHO chief urged. The WHO is further coordinating the mobilisation of 20 Emergency Medical Teams, in order to strengthen Ukraine's health system, made up of professionals from a variety of countries, to provide treatment across a range of disciplines in Ukraine and neighbouring countries that have welcomed refugees, as per the official statement. Tedros even asserted that Ukraine is "rightly the focus of the world's attention". He concluded his speech by urging the council "not to lose sight of the many other crises in which people are suffering," mentioning the millions of people now suffering in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Syria, and Yemen.

Amaravati: Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Monday expressed concern that the state is slipping into a “Sri Lanka-like economic catastrophe” due to policies of the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government. Naidu alleged that the same opinion was expressed during a meeting of the top central government officials with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He asserted that Jagan Mohan Reddy was imposing unbearable burdens on the people only for his personal wealth creation. The ruling YSRCP is “over exploiting and plundering” all types of natural resources in the state, Naidu added. Chandrababu Naidu said that while “looting public resources”, Reddy is imposing high taxes on the people and bringing massive loans in the name of mobilising revenue for the Government. “How could there be power cuts in AP which was a power surplus state three years ago? Jagan Reddy owes an explanation to the public on power cuts and increased current bills,” said the TDP chief. The TDP supremo said that he will certainly come to power in the next elections and it would correct all such mistakes being made by the present regime. In a press release, the TDP said that its strategy panel decided to take up a door to door campaign at village level against the hiked electricity charges and “skyrocketing” prices of essentials, petrol, diesel, gas and garbage tax.

One family feud that has been grabbing headlines for the past few days is that between Govinda and his nephew Krushna Abhishek. It's known to everyone that all's not well between Govinda and Krushna, but it reached a new height when Krushna gave one The Kapil Sharma Show episode a miss. This was the same episode where Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja came as guests. After that, Sunita said that she would never want to see Krushna's face, while Krushna said he's praying to Ganpati Bappa that their differences are sorted. Now, in a new interview, Krushna has claimed that he has sought forgiveness again and again, but Govinda and Sunita won't accept his apology. Talking to Spotboye, Krushna said "I love my mama and mami. I seek their forgiveness. I've tried many times. But they won't accept my apology. And therein lies the problem. I don't know why they are not willing to forgive me when I am like their child. So many times in so many interviews I've said that we will resolve our issues, and they've said so too. But we are still at loggerheads." He also addressed Sunita's comments on him and said, "I know my mami said a lot of things against me. Of course, I was upset. But now I feel they are so angry with me because they love me the most. Saying something as filmy as 'I don't want to see his face ever again' shows they are hurt. And you can only get hurt by someone who loves you." However, Krushna's wife Kashmera in a recent interview had said that 'mujhe do paisa ka interest nahi hai' about this matter before adding that Govinda and Sunita do not exist for her! ### Response: | Krushna Abhishek on Govinda-Sunita: "I love my mama and mami, seek their forgiveness; but they won't accept my apology" | 1,963,315 |

Bengaluru: BJP has released its list of 16 candidates for the elections to Rajya Sabha to be held throughout the country on June 10. The party has announced the names of two candidates for the 4 seats from Karnataka. As expected, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will contest from Karnataka. Surprisingly, Kannada actor Jaggesh has been named as the second candidate. Based on the strength of each party in the state legislative assembly, BJP can win 2 seats while Congress can comfortably win one seat in the Rajya Sabha. However, both parties lack the numerical advantage when it comes to the fourth seat. Meanwhile, Krupendra Reddy who is expected to be the candidate from the JDS has already met Congress leaders and sought their support. There are rumors that the BJP is thinking of fielding a third candidate from the state to divide the JDS and Congress votes. If that happens the election is certain to heat up for the fourth seat from the state. ### Response: | BJP fields FM Nirmala Sitharaman, actor Jaggesh for Rajya Sabha from Karnataka | 1,038,800 |

"We are happy to announce that we have unanimously chosen Yashwant Sinha as the common candidate of the opposition parties for the presidential election, which will take place on July 18, 2022," Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said while reading out a joint statement after the meeting. "In his long and distinguished career in public life, Shri Yashwant Sinha has served the nation in various capacities - as an able administrator, accomplished parliamentarian and acclaimed Union Minister of Finance and External Affairs. He is eminently qualified to uphold secular and democratic character of the Indian Republic and its Constitutional values," the statement also said. Ramesh said the opposition parties have appealed to all parties to support Yashwant Sinha as president so the country could have a worthy 'rashtrapati' elected unopposed. "We regret Modi government made no serious effort to have consensus on a presidential candidate," said Ramesh. Reading out the joint statement, he added that the unity of opposition parties forged for presidential poll will be further consolidated in the months ahead. Sinha's name came up after Pawar, Gopalkrishna Gandhi and Farooq Abdullah opted out of the race. The parties that attended the meeting included the Congress, NCP, TMC, CPI, CPI-M, Samajwadi Party, National Conference, AIMIM, RJD and AIUDF. Congress' Mallikarjun Kharge and Jairam Ramesh, TMC's Abhishek Banerjee, DMK's Tiruchi Siva, CPI-M's Sitaram Yechury and CPI's D Raja were among those who participated in the meeting. Five regional parties considered non aligned - TRS, BJD. AAP, SAD and YSRCP -- stayed away. These parties had also stayed away from the June 15 meeting convened by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. ### Response: | Yashwant Sinha to be joint oppn candidate for presidential poll | 1,277,234 |

Brazil's tally so far would have been enough to qualify for all World Cups directly since 2002. https://images.indianexpress.com/2020/08/1x1.png Ecuador remains in third spot with 16 points, marginally ahead of Uruguay based on the number of victories. Colombia is in fifth place with 15 points. All three have already played 11 matches. Chile was playing Paraguay later on Sunday.

ARGENTINA 3, URUGUAY 0 Messi's team was preparing for a long, tense night at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires. Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez selected a back-five to stop Argentina's powerful offense and his team created most of the best early opportunities, with Luis Suerez hitting the post once and forcing goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez to make two great saves. But then a stroke of luck helped Argentina in the 38th minute. Messi gave an overhead pass in an attempt to assist Nico Gonzalez, who failed to touch it. But the ball gently and unexpectedly passed by goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, into the right corner.

(AP Photo/Gustavo Garello) Luck once more was on the Argentinian side in the 44th. A series of passing mistakes by both teams gave a clear opportunity to Lautaro Martinez on the edge of the box. Lautaro failed to hit it cleanly, but it was enough to move the ball in the path of a Rodrigo de Paul. The second half started with Uruguay trying to charge up front with substitutes Edinson Cavani and Darwin Nu�ez, but once again it was Argentina which scored. Messi found De Paul on the right flank, and the midfielder sent a low cross into the penalti box. Lautaro Martinez scored from close range. Argentina's next challenge will be against Peru. Uruguay will travel to Brazil. COLOMBIA 0, BRAZIL 0 It was Brazil's first draw after nine wins in completed matches in the tournament its superclasico with Argentina last month was suspended. Brazil had the best opportunities of the encounter and forced Colombia goalkeeper David Ospina to make three key saves. The most important was in the 84th minute in a close range finish by substitute Antony. Neymar returned to the Selecao after a suspension, but was off pace, missing several passes and running with apparent difficulty. He left the pitch immediately after the final whistle. Brazil coach Tite said in a news conference too much is expected from his star player all of the time.

'He is a special player, we know it. And he was also well marked, sometimes by two players.' Tite tested out lineup or formation changes, as he promised. His defensive midfield was Fabinho and Fred for the first time. He also used wingers Raphinha and Antony in the second half, following their impressive performances in the 3-1 win at Venezuela. Colombia coach Reinaldo Rueda said his team did well despite the absence of suspended Juan Guillermo Cuadrado. After draws against Uruguay and Brazil, Colombia can see sixth-placed Paraguay get closer in the table. 'This match gives us optimism about what is coming,' Rueda said. 'Brazil is a very tough team, they had won all their matches in qualifiers. So from this angle it was very positive what Colombia did today.' Colombia's next match will also be at home against Ecuador. Also on Sunday, third place Ecuador lost 2-1 at Venezuela and frustrated fans who were hoping to get closer to a World Cup spot. Enner Valencia opened the scoring for the visitors from the spot in the 37th, but Venezuela turned its fortunes with goals by Darwin Machis late in the first half and Eduard Bello in the 64th. Ecuador remains on 16 points and last-place Venezuela has seven. Bolivia frustrated Peru with a 1-0 win at La Paz. Ramiro Vaca scored the only goal of the encounter in the 85th minute. Peru remained on 11 points and Bolivia improve to nine points in the standings.

By Monika Yadav NEW DELHI: The government seems to be optimistic about the future of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSME) amid inflationary pressure and recession fears in Europe and the US. According to a government official, most countries import Indian petroleum products, chemicals & drugs and pharma items, for which demand will never fade, hence there is no need to worry for at least two to three years. Within the country too, with the economy picking up, there is a pent-up demand so the market sentiments are positive. "We majorly export products which have inelastic demand like petroleum products, chemicals and pharma items. So even inflation or other disturbances like recession etc won't impact the exports by MSME sector," the official said. "While China is still reeling under the burden of Covid effects, India's MSME sector has come back to normalcy despite high commodity prices and disruptions in the supply chain," he further added. Domestically, there is a good demand for MSME goods, he said. When asked about the vulnerability of the MSME sector as the recession is looming over powerful economies like the US, Europe and China, the official stated, that it may affect the country in the long haul. But for the next two to three years from now, there is no need to worry, he said. MSME sector contributes nearly 30% to the GDP of the country and it deals in nearly 7,000 products. In global trade, it contributes about 48% to the exports of the country. The US, Europe, and China are among the top destinations where Indian goods and services are supplied. "After the second wave of the Covid pandemic, the MSME sector was limping back to normalcy when they were again hit by Tsunami of hike in commodities. Initially, it was due to disruption in supply chains including movements of ships and shortage of containers, later it was exacerbated by the Ukraine war which fuelled the hike further particularly of petroleum products. The sudden spurt in iron and steel, copper, aluminium, polymers, chemicals and even cotton, three finances of MSMEs out of gear," said Anil Bhardwaj, Secretary General at Federation of Indian Micro and Small & Medium Enterprises (FISME). "Slowly, things are turning to normalcy now. The commodities prices have peaked and heading southward. Although the domestic demand has contracted especially with regards to the food basket, the sentiments in the market remain positive for growth," he further added.
